BOSTON -- Prosecutors are again asking a judge to allow them to use the contents of former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandezs cellphone as evidence in his upcoming double murder trial. Chris Tierney Jersey .Lawyers for Hernandez argue that authorities learned about the phone through confidential communications between Hernandez and his sports agent, Brian Murphy, who is also an attorney. They have requested that the contents be barred as evidence.But in a written response released Friday, prosecutors said Hernandez has not established that he has a protected attorney-client relationship with Murphy. They said Murphy has been administratively suspended from practicing law and does not maintain a legal practice as a sports agent in California.The defendants sports agent relationship with Murphy alone does not and cannot protect their communications, prosecutors from Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conleys office argued in the court filing.Hernandez is scheduled to go on trial in February in the 2012 shooting deaths of two men he encountered at a Boston nightclub. He has pleaded not guilty in the slayings of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado.Hernandez is already serving a life sentence in the 2013 killing of semiprofessional football player Odin Lloyd.Prosecutors have asked a judge to hold a hearing on the cellphone issue.State police seized the phone after Lloyd was killed in June 2013. Text messages included communications between Hernandez and Murphy. The phone also contained text messages between Hernandez and Alexander Bradley, a Hernandez friend who was with him the night of the 2012 shootings.Hernandez is also charged with witness intimidation and accused of shooting Bradley in 2013 in Florida. Massachusetts prosecutors have said Hernandez shot Bradley because he was a witness to the 2012 shootings and Hernandez was worried he would talk.The messages refer to efforts to settle a lawsuit Bradley intended to file against Hernandez.So Ill watch as it hits tv have fun explaining that to coach n the the pats franchise ... Shoulda resolved this amicably as we offered you, Bradley said in a text message to Hernandez.Bradley survived the shooting and is expected to be the star prosecution witness against Hernandez at his trial.

The victory improved the Czech pairs impressive cup doubles record to 14-1.KLOSTERS, Switzerland -- Its easy to find a beautiful small town hidden away high in the Swiss Alps, one with fine food, challenging slopes and a welcoming, fireside atmosphere.Its not so easy, however, to find one favored by British royals, a place where you might find yourself sharing a cable car with the future king of England, Prince Charles, or one of his dashing offspring, Prince William and Prince Harry, who first learned to ski here.The royal connection -- one of the cable cars is even named after Charles -- has shaped the publics perception of the tiny town of Klosters in Switzerland, but its only one of many reasons to visit. Its actually traditional, not flashy, and offers skiers, hikers and those simply seeking rest and relaxation a quiet sense of tranquility not found in many glitzier, more crowded Alpine resorts.That may be what has drawn Charles, with his well-documented distaste for impersonal, high-rise modern architecture, a scourge that afflicts some of the newer ski havens in France and Italy. Klosters has remained largely unchanged over the decades, effortlessly maintaining its small town charm. Its fun after skiing just to walk the back streets and admire the beautifully carved doors and other wood decorations that adorn many of its older houses. The town has a sense of unhurried history -- tourists started coming some 150 years ago, centuries after the first monastery was built here -- and its so snow-oriented that inexpensive wood sleds are stacked high outside the main grocery story.Klosters is connected to the larger, more built up town of Davos, known for the annual World Economic Forum -- and for its excellent mountaintop restaurants. In skiing terms, the two towns comprise one huge resort. The combined skiing is magnificent, and the slopes are often uncrowded. The mix of terrain focuses on mid-level skiers, with an emphasis on neatly groomed slopes, and its always exhilarating to ski to a new village or find a new restaurant tucked away on the lesser known runs. The high altitude hiking is phenomenal.Part of what sets Klosters apart from resorts in other countries is the unmatched Swiss railways, which make getting to Klosters a true pleasure. Its a joy to arrive at Zurich Airport, catch a train that skirts two beautiful lakes, then, after a simple switch, arrive in Klosters roughly two hours later. Its the best way to acclimate, to enjoy the mountain views and the rushing rivers without the hassle of renting a car and managing new roads.Its a perfect example of what makess European travel so alluring: Instead of sitting isolated in a car trying to decipher road signs in an unfamiliar language, you spend time in a train often filled with other skiers, including, inevitably, some English-speaking locals with well-informed opinions about the best place to ski, eat and drink. Mikkel Boedker Jersey. Its also very easy to use the trains to travel to nearby towns at the start of the ski day, providing convenient access to new terrain. The scenery along the way can be astonishing, and its hard not to admire the audacious engineering that went into the construction process. Needless to say, the trains run on time.The easy run from Zurich makes Klosters an attractive day trip for youthful skiers eager to get in a days skiing without having to pay for lodging. Passengers on the early morning trains tend to be wearing ski gear and munching energy bars as the trains climb toward Klosters and other nearby ski towns. Klosters also has an excellent bus system to take skiers from their hotel, or the rail station, to several chairlifts -- and one of the main lifts is actually just around the corner from the train station.Klosters has played a discreet role in royal romance. It was here in 2006 that Prince William was first photographed kissing Kate Middleton, who was then his girlfriend. The public kiss was interpreted -- correctly -- by royal observers as a clear indication that their relationship was serious and deemed to have a future.The university sweethearts briefly broke up after that, but when Kate returned to Klosters with William in 2008 -- and they were photographed on the slopes together -- it was taken as affirmation that they were very much a couple again. They married a few years later and now have two children.The royal link has also been marked by tragedy. In 1988 Charles was skiing with a close friend, Major Hugh Lindsay, when an avalanche struck as they were skiing off-piste high above Klosters. Charles was unhurt, but Lindsay was killed.It was also here that Charles in 2005 dropped his typically very correct public persona and let slip his true feelings about a reporter assigned to the royal beat, describing the BBCs Nicholas Witchell as so awful during a brief, uncomfortable meeting with the press at the start of the royal holiday.---If You Go...KLOSTERS, SWITZERLAND: http://www.davos.ch and http://www.klosters.ch .
