Final pretrial motions loom as Hedgepeth murder trial nears
A final pretrial hearing is set ahead of the murder trial for UNC student Faith Hedgepeth. Prosecutors and defense will argue one last pretrial motion, with the state seeking to block the defense from suggesting another suspect unless supported by evidence. Miguel Salguero-Olivares, linked to Hedgepeth by DNA, faces murder plus first-degree burglary, rape and sexual-offense charges. The trial is scheduled to begin Sept. 28 in Durham County and is expected to last several weeks.
