@trial_trackers: Day 1 of the Miguel Salguero-Olivares trial began with prosecutors alleging DNA evidence connects him to the 2012 murder of UNC student Faith Hedgepeth. The defense challenged that evidence, pointing to missing forensic material, possible contamination and unanswered questions about the timeline. Hedgepeth’s niece, Alexis Evans, testified about her aunt’s life and future plans. Her roommate, Karena Rosario, described their final night together, leaving the apartment around 4:20 a.m., and discovering Hedgepeth’s body hours later. Rosario’s testimony will continue on Day 2. Salguero-Olivares is charged in connection with Hedgepeth’s September 2012 death and has pleaded not guilty. #FaithHedgepeth #TrueCrime #Courtroom #Trial
