The Faith Hedgepeth Trial: Future COTC?

Faith Hedgepeth was 19 when she was beaten to death in her off-campus apartment in September 2012. It took nine years to make an arrest, and five more to get Miguel Salguero-Olivares in front of a jury. At trial, Faith’s former roommate, long the internet’s favorite suspect, took the stand while the defense suggested she had killed her best friend. Testimony also exposed mistakes investigators made, and some of them are hard to forgive. (No regular COTC this week, so Amber is bringing you this update on a case we first covered as a Future COTC?.)
