A potential juror was excused today after she confused the double-murder trial of disgraced former Patriot Aaron Hernandez with Deflategate.

“I heard something about Deflategate, but that’s it,” said the young woman, who was eventually excused after Suffolk prosecutors used one of their 16 juror challenges.

“No, Deflategate has nothing to do with this,” said Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Locke, a comment that was muffled by laughter in the courtroom.

Even Hernandez, who sat surrounded by his lawyers, chuckled at the mistake.

Three jurors were selected before the lunch break – two women and one man. All three are young and one of the women is originally from the Dominican Republic.

Jury selection will continue today and into next week until 16 jurors are selected. Twelve jurors will eventually deliberate and four will be alternates.

The trial is slated to start on March 1.

Hernandez is charged with shooting and killing Daniel Jorge Correia de Abreu, 29, and Safiro Furtado, 28, in the early morning hours of July 16, 2012 because they’d spilled a drink on him at Cure Lounge. The ex-NFL star is also charged with three counts of armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Hernandez, already serving a life sentence for the murder of Odin L. Lloyd, has plead not guilty to all charges.

He was in prison by the time the Deflategate scandal — the Pats were accused of deflating footballs in the AFC Championship Game — exploded in 2015.
