Evidence Battle in 13-Year Murder Case | Durham News
Description
A 13-year-old murder case is about to go to trial, with Miguel Enrique Salguero-Olivares facing first-degree murder and rape charges after Faith Hedgepeth’s 2012 death. The prosecution seeks to bar cameras during testimony from key witnesses and block mention of polygraphs, blood-alcohol levels, and a written statement, calling them unreliable. Meanwhile, the defense is aggressively challenging forensic evidence—including inconclusive DNA results and missing data—while demanding answers about a mysterious bloodstain allegedly collected but never logged in the evidence system. This pivotal hearing could shape what jurors see—and decide the fate of this high-stakes case before trial begins September 28.
