GUILTY: Life Without Parole in Faith Hedgepeth’s Murder 14 Years On, Where the Russell Brand Trial Stands, and Ethan Hauschultz

A Durham County jury convicted Miguel Salguero-Olivares, 33, on Friday of first-degree murder, first-degree rape, first-degree sexual offense and first-degree burglary in the 2012 killing of Faith Hedgepeth, a 19-year-old UNC-Chapel Hill sophomore and citizen of the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe, found beaten to death in her Chapel Hill apartment. The case went unsolved for nine years until a 2021 traffic stop produced a DNA sample that matched the scene. Superior Court Judge Keith Gregory sentenced him to life without parole plus consecutive terms; he is appealing. His defense questioned the forensics and presented no evidence. Also: after two weeks of prosecution evidence at Southwark Crown Court, Garret recaps all six complainants in the Russell Brand trial, the defence case that has emerged, and the decision Brand now faces about whether to testify — he denies all seven charges. And in Wisconsin, Timothy Hauschultz was convicted after an eight-year wait and three rejected plea deals in the 2018 death of seven-year-old Ethan Hauschultz. Garret Fisher reports.
