Wallace has pleaded not guilty to a charge of being an accessory to murder after the fact in the killing of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder and is being held without bail.
Prosecutors have not offered details about Wallace's alleged involvement. They say he and another man, Carlos Ortiz, were with Hernandez when they drove with Lloyd to the industrial park where Lloyd was found shot to death.
According to USA Today, Hernandez is scheduled to return to court for a probable cause hearing Wednesday, but that could be cancelled if a grand jury hands down an indictment before then.
