Oh man, the saga continues and it could get worse for the former Patriots tight end. Aaron Hernandez is due back in court this afternoon for his first degree murder case, but sources are saying he could be facing more charges from another incident.

Hernandez is due back in an Attleboro, Mass., court at 2 p.m. ET Wednesday for a probable cause hearing in the murder case against him in the death last month of Odin Lloyd.
In addition to Wednesday’s hearing, The Boston Globe reports that prosecutors continue to look at Hernandez in a double homicide in Boston a year ago.
With a Suffolk County grand jury probing the shooting deaths of two Cape Verdean immigrants in their car on July 16, 2012, a law enforcement official tells the Globe, “the case against Hernandez appears to be strengthening.”
Boston police made a possible connection between Hernandez and the double homicide after he came under scrutiny in the June 17 killing of Lloyd.
Hernandez, who pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge in the Lloyd case, is being held without bail at the Bristol County House of Correction.
Two alleged accomplices in the Lloyd case, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, also are in police custody.
At the same hour Wednesday’s court hearing is taking place, Patriots coach Bill Belichick is scheduled to meet with reporters at Gillette Stadium for the first time since Hernandez’s arrest.
