A lawyer for ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez has told jurors that the prosecution's star witness is ''a perjurer and a liar'' who is the real killer of two men Hernandez is accused of gunning down over a spilled drink. During closing arguments Thursday, attorney Jose Baez told jurors that prosecutors made a ''deal with the devil'' when they agreed to give immunity to Hernandez's former friend, Alexander Bradley. Baez said Bradley got the ''deal of a lifetime'' for claiming that Hernandez shot two men after one of them accidentally bumped into Hernandez at a Boston nightclub and spilled his drink.
