COSTELLO: Good morning. I'm Carol Costello. Thank you so much for joining me. A new development just in from the Aaron Hernandez murder trial. The judge has ruled against his defense team saying jurors do have the right to see video of the former NFL star breakdown his cell phone after the killing. CNN's Alexandra Field is covering the trial in Fall River, Massachusetts. So, Alexandra, walk us through this. Why is this so significant?</s>ALEXANDRA FIELD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hey, Carol. This is pretty key for the prosecution. This is video that they really want the jury to see. The defense have tried to block that. But today the judge said that there's really no reason that the jury cannot see this video. Here's what the video shows according to the prosecution. We will see Aaron Hernandez in a parked car in the parking lot of the North Attleboro Police Station just a couple of days after Odin Lloyd was killed. They say that in this surveillance video which was recorded by a camera attached to the police station, Aaron Hernandez breaks apart his cell phone into three pieces. The jury will then also see video of him reassembling that cell phone, it seems, to retrieve a number and then using a different phone. The prosecution says that he's using that other phone to call co-venture Earnest Wallace. Now here's the caveat in all of this. The judge says that the jury will see two parts of the video. One where Aaron Hernandez breaks down the cell phone and puts it back together.
