Aaron Hernandez’s right-hand man, Ernest Wallace, was sentenced to up to 7 years in prison in the 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd in North Attleboro.

At his sentencing on Thursday prosecutors recommended Wallace serve the 7-year maximum sentence after he was convicted of accessory to murder after the fact, and acquitted of murder.

Hernandez was convicted of the crime and is serving a life sentence without parole.

A third man, Carlos Ortiz, is scheduled to start his trial in June.
