Lloyd was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee.
Hernandez's lawyer acknowledged his client was there when Lloyd was killed, but says he didn't do it.
The jury must decide if Hernandez is guilty or not guilty of first-degree murder or second-degree murder. He's also charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Deliberations on Friday ended early at 1 p.m. due to scheduling issues.
A photographer for a Boston TV station was banned from the courthouse Thursday after he acknowledged following jurors to a parking lot.
He and his station, WHDH-TV, both said he had not spoken to them or taken their pictures.
