A hearing for Shayanna Jenkins is set for Wednesday afternoon in Fall River Superior Court. She pleaded not guiltylast month and was released on personal recognizance.

Prosecutors allege Jenkins lied to the grand jury that indicted Hernandez, including about disposing of evidence at his request. They say she told grand jurors she couldn't remember where she threw out a box she placed in a trash bag along with baby clothes.

Jenkins' attorney, Janice Bassil, says prosecutors are being heavy-handed and have no evidence her client lied.

Hernandez has pleaded not guiltyin the killing of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-pro football player who was dating Jenkins' sister.

Jenkins and Hernandez lived together in North Attleborough, Mass., near where Lloyd's body was found. They have a young child.
