Faith Hedgepeth Murder Trial Day 2, No Breaks Edition: The Roommate Cross-Examined and the 911 Call

The roommate faces the defense. Her friend describes a red smudge on her finger. Then the jury hears the 911 call and is taken into the bedroom where Faith Hedgepeth died. Faith Hedgepeth was 19, a UNC Chapel Hill student found dead in September 2012 in the off-campus apartment she shared with her best friend. Miguel Enrique Salguero-Olivares is on trial in Durham County Superior Court on the charges, and he is presumed innocent. Day 2 of the Faith Hedgepeth murder trial is the night, the morning and the scene, told by eight witnesses who lived it. Four were asked whether they knew the defendant or ever heard Faith mention a "Miguel." All four said no. A September 2026 order limits what the defense may argue about anyone else. It does not limit what the jury heard. Karena Rosario says her only explanation for what was on her hand that night is her own vomit. Jordan McCrary says he saw a small red smudge on her finger seconds after she got into his car. The defense says the bathroom door-frame stain was never tested. Rosario is not charged. Did anyone run those threads down in 2012? WITNESS & HEARING GUIDE 0:00:00 What this video is, and a preview 0:00:19 Intro 0:01:19 Video starts: Judge Keith O.
