The two men suspected of being involved with Aaron Hernandez in the death of Odin Lloyd both had their charges upgraded today as they were indicted for murder. The two men, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz were previously charged with accessory to murder after the fact and had pleaded not guilty. Now both men are facing the same murder charges that Hernandez is facing. Hit the jump.

Ortiz and Wallace, who are from Bristol, Conn., where Hernandez grew up, had been charged previously with accessory to murder after the fact and had pleaded not guilty. They had been ordered held on $500,000 bail on the older charges.

Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the killing of Lloyd, a 27-year-old Boston resident who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins.

There has been no comment as to why suddenly the charges against the two men were upgraded. This could be a bad sign for Hernandez in his attempt to beat his charges in court.
