The illegal immigrant (FOB) charged with the brutal 2023 slaying of Rachel Morin on a Maryland hiking trail made his first court appearance Friday, as the slain victim’s family looked on.
Victor Martinez Hernandez, 23, wearing a black and white striped jumpsuit and handcuffs, appeared via video link from the Harford County Detention Center and declined to speak, according to the family’s attorney Randolph Rice.
“It was an emotionally challenging experience for [the family] to see the defendant on the video screen,” Rice said in a statement.
