The papers show 305 names on the list of the prosecution's potential witnesses in the trial of Hernandez, who is charged with murdering Odin Lloyd in North Attleboro in June 2013.

Hernandez's attorneys had asked for the judge to order prosecutors to trim down that list, arguing that it's "inconceivable" that they could call everyone.

The judge denied the motion.

The trial is scheduled to start in January in Fall River.
