The trial of Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez, charged with the murder of Rachel Morin, begins this week in Maryland. Morin's body was discovered in August 2023 after she went missing during a run on a local trail. The case has raised concerns regarding immigration and border policies, as Martinez-Hernandez is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. Following extensive DNA evidence linking him to prior incidents, the community and Morin’s family are hopeful for justice as jury selection is set to commence.
The Morin family has long waited for this moment, this trial marks the beginning of the justice they've been seeking since the day Rachel was taken from them.
Jury selection would begin on Tuesday and is expected to take up to three days, with the entirety of the trial anticipated to last approximately two weeks.
