Thank you.

All right.

Everybody in here?

All right.

Good afternoon.

Indigenous women across this country,

Without him reinvestigating this case over these last five years, we would not have been able to bring this to justice.

Justin, I want to personally thank you.

Thank you.

I can tell you that this has been a dream team to work with,

and I'm just glad that we got a little bit of justice for the family today.

To my prosecution team, Angela Garcia -Lamarca,

Brooke Stone, Lisa Coltrane, Charles Souls, Leo Jimenez, Jamaica Campbell.

These are the folks in our office who have worked on this tirelessly.

These three ADAs were, I promised the Hedgepeth family, the best that I could give them.

Angela is our cold case sexual assault prosecutor.

Brooks is our child sexual assault prosecutor.

And at this point, I want to turn it over to Chief Leigh, who has some words.

Thank you.

Salisa Lehiu, Police Chief with the Town of Chapel Hill.

14 years ago, we began this investigation with one goal, justice for Faith and her family.

As we worked and what happened to Faith, we also learned who she was,

a kind, caring, vibrant young woman who brought light to so many lives.

Knowing who Faith was helped keep our investigators going through long days, months, and eventually years.

There were times when answers felt far away, but we kept working, knowing her family was waiting and that

Faith deserved the very best.

I want to thank our Chapel Hill Police Department team

and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for the countless hours that they devoted to this case.

I know how much of themselves they put into this work, and I am proud of their dedication.

I am grateful to the Durham County District Attorney's Office and our partners across

North Carolina and beyond for their expertise, their care, and their commitment to seeing this case through.

To the jurors, thank you for your service and for the time and care you gave to considering the evidence.

To Connie and Roland and Valanda and Chad and Caleb and to all of Faith's loved ones, thank you for your strength,

your patience, and your trust over all of these years.

Thank you for allowing us to walk beside you.

The grace you have shown through so much pain will always stay with us and you'll always be family.

Today's guilty verdict brings accountability for Faith's death.

That matters and we have worked hard towards this day for a very long time.

But we know it cannot bring

Faith back, take away the pain of the last 14 years,

or give her loved ones the years and memories they should still have ahead with her.

We hope today brings some of the answers you have waited so long for, and we will continue to stand beside everyone.

Above all, today is about faith, the life she lived, the people she touched, and the future she deserved.

Hi, I am Rolanda Hedgepeth.

I am my only sister.

I have a list of people I'd like to thank.

First of all, I would like to thank God, our creator for today.

I would like to thank the prosecution team, Brooke Stone, Angela Garcia LaMarca,

Lisa Coltrane, the Durham County District Attorney's Office, and their wonderful staff.

The investigative team, Phillip Stevens,

Justin Heinrich, Charles Soule, Westhouse,

Chapel Hill Police Department, Matthews, Troy Smith, Chris Blue, Salisa Lahue,

100

and all the officers and all their staff.

101

We'd also like to thank the North Carolina Victims Assistance Network.

102

We'd like to thank the Religious Coalition for a nonviolent Durham.

103

We want to thank the jurors.

104

We also would like to thank our churches who have helped us, prayed for us.

105

We'd like to thank the Haliwa Saponi Indian tribe and all tribes who have supported us.

106

We like to thank our family, community, our friends.

107

We like to thank strangers who didn't even know us, who didn't know Faith.

108

We want to thank everyone for their prayers, their messages, their monetary support through this.

109

Thank you for never forgetting who

110

Faith was and who she still is to all of us.

111

She touched so many lives, not just ours.

112

And through this tragedy, we've developed so many relationships with so many people.

113

And all these people you see up here that aren't our beloved family are our family too.

114

Just everybody's been really good to us, and we just want to say thank you to everyone.

115

And please continue to pray for us.

116

We still miss her every day.

117

We're very strong, but we're also very weak at times.

118

So she is missed every day.

119

And if you didn't know her, you truly missed out on something.

120

And I let my daughter speak.

121

Wow.

122

This is my third time speaking about faith in who she was.

123

I reiterate everything that I've said about her this far.

124

And along with everyone that my mom listed, I like to thank everybody who's respectfully kept face name out there,

125

who's spoken about her, about her trial, about our family, about this case.

126

I think she's touched the lives of so many people across

127

North Carolina, across the nation, across the world.

128

We've heard from people in other countries who have been touched by her story.

129

I want to thank my family, everybody standing here on the left side of me.

130

In times where it's been immensely difficult to be without her,

131

we've all lifted each other up and held on to each other through every traumatic, difficult moment.

132

That goes for the people behind me, for our extended family, for our friends, for the people who aren't in this room.

133

I want to speak to all of the families and individuals who are victims of homicide,

134

secondary victims of homicide, who are missing and murdered indigenous people, indigenous women, indigenous children.

135

four or five indigenous women will experience violence in their lifetime and faith is one of them.

136

Today we have seen justice for her and that fight will continue today and beyond through every appeal,

137

through every trial, through anything that presents after this.

138

But today we have a semblance of peace in that

139

and I want to recognize every story that isn't able to be heard up here.

140

Faith's case has been heard, has gotten this much attention.

141

All of these cameras are here because of who she was, because she was a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

142

So many families don't receive that and we're blessed and honored to be able to receive that and it's not without purpose.

143

Um, and so I want to send our love and recognition out to all the families who are not on camera today,

144

who will never see this sort of crowd appear for their people because those stories are just as important.

145

Those people are just as important and everyone will not see justice.

146

And that's a pain that no family should have to face.

147

And so I want everyone to know that if you're not in front of here with us,

148

if you, if your people will never be talked about through podcast through media on tick tock on social media,

149

everywhere that that story still matters and it's still important.

150

Your families and communities matter and what you are going through matters.

151

Thank you.

152

Okay.

153

Mm -hmm.

154

All righty.

155

My name is Skylar.

156

I'm Faith's other niece.

157

And one thing in giving all the thanks, one person that I want to do thank is Faith herself.

158

Because without Faith, the people who are not blood related to us up here with us wouldn't be here.

159

She's brought a lot of people in our life.

160

prior to her death and even after her death.

161

We've gotten to know so many people who met her who were impacted by her death.

162

And while it was so difficult for us to handle her passing, handle her murder, everybody that she met,

163

everybody that she just came in contact with, even if she just saw you walking down the street and she gave you a smile,

164

I'm sure they were impacted because she was just such a beautiful light, such a beautiful spirit.

165

and she lives through us.

166

My sister mentioned my little brothers, they talk about their auntie that they never got to meet, but they still miss her.

167

They still love her and they wish that she was here.

168

Faith has other nephews who grew up not knowing her and now who will never be held by his auntie.

169

But because of her beautiful spirit, she will always live through us.

170

So I thank her for just being such a great person, such an admirable person.

171

Like she was just truly the best.

172

And I'll close this out and also thanking people, everybody who supported us through the trial.

173

We've had a lot of, like my mom said, strangers reach out to us to help us, to support us, just offering prayers.

174

people from near and far all over America reached out to us.

175

And so I thank you all.

176

And today we have justice for faith.

177

Like my sister said, the fight will always continue, but we will always have her back.

178

We will always stay fighting and we will always have faith.

179

I just want to say one more thing.

180

After the verdict and everything come in and we were able to get up and hug and, I mean, it was just tears of joy.

181

It was not tears of sadness.

182

But Salisa said something to me that she was sorry that it took this long.

183

over 14 years for justice.

184

But I told her, don't be sorry because it's God's planning.

185

I mean, you know, I thought when it happened, oh, we were going to have the answer soon.

186

Nevertheless, it was over 14 years.

187

But I say, everything has a purpose.

188

and her death had a purpose and I think he has served its purpose

189

because so many people like they said know her story

190

so many people that just met her continue to love her and so

191

it's all in his timing it's for his purpose

192

and we don't know what that is but I just thank God

193

that he decided that today was going to be the day

194

and I just I'm just so thankful all these people that have supported us and loved us

195

I mean it's just overwhelming I mean, they're our family now.

196

They all, and we just love everybody, and we just thank everybody for everything, every prayer that has been lifted up.

197

And I'm talking about people are praying.

198

They are praying all the time for us.

199

I'm just so grateful and thankful for his love that he has for us and just continue.

200

I just want to continue to pray that my family, that we would continue to lift faith up and just,

201

I mean, we can't lift her up above God, you know, because he is the creator and he knows us,

202

he formed us before we were in the womb of our mothers.

203

And so, and he knew our purpose and she served her purpose.

204

It's hard, sometimes it's hard to say that, but she served her purpose because she reached so many people.

205

And so that's about it.

206

And I don't want them to ever think it took too long because it was God's purpose.

207

This was the timing for that.

208

So I'll thank you everybody.

209

It's been a long day, but we're going to take a few questions really quickly.

210

Anybody have some questions?

211

Thank you so much and thank you to everybody and congratulations.

212

Regarding, you know, the genealogy, which has become part and parcel of a lot of investigations today,

213

tell us, someone could just tell us a little bit about

214

that aha moment of putting that together it wasn't immediate because it didn't go right to North Carolina, it took a little more time.

215

Can someone just give us a brief evaluation of the importance of that?

216

Come on now.

217

You're recruited.

218

So it was a huge team effort, this case.

219

Like I think what you hear from everybody that's come up here is how much we all work together.

220

The investigative team the entire time, it wasn't just

221

Chapel Hill or just SBI.

222

It was really a team together.

223

Even those two agencies working, we needed outside help.

224

We talked to a lot of different people, consulted as many resources as we could.

225

I think there's another time we can go into the specifics of some of the techniques that were utilized.

226

But I'm just happy that we ended with what happened and we got that little bit of extra justice for faith.

227

Ken, I'd like to ask Ms. Markov, or anyone on the prosecution team, when you heard that the verdict had been reached,

228

you know, we all in the media do this, what do you think it'll happen?

229

It's only out of dollars, no, no. What were you guys thinking when you went into the room and sat down in that heart -counting moment?

230

Describe that for we who try to tell your story.

231

Well, she said any of us.

232

I heard that very clearly.

233

Well, may I ask this Coltrane because you really, that was something.

234

I'm Italian and even that was something for me.

235

So please tell us about that moment.

236

Well, verdicts are always that heart pounding moment where you feel like your heart is going to fall through the floor frankly.

237

I always had faith not to use a play on words

238

but I had faith that our jury would see through

239

and use their common sense and so

240

when they came back with a verdict I really I trusted that it was going to be a conviction.

241

There's always some trepidation but I did have fate

242

that they would understand the common sense and the evidence that was put in front of them

243

and they did and I'm going to be forever grateful for that.

244

Just one last thing, but you know the defense raised some issues and

245

that was their job and they did their job trying to poke holes and create reasonable doubt.

246

What was your reaction to some of their cross and how they tried to deflate the strength of your case?

247

Like you said, defense attorneys have a job

248

and I respect what they do and they were defending not only their client

249

but the Constitution and so the fact

250

that they were zealously advocating for their client I respect

251

and we all do and so I have nothing

252

but respect for them and what they did and I think that they did the best with what they had.

253

I have two questions for Faith's family.

254

One, the Faith's fear, the t -shirts, what does that mean?

255

And second, if I could hear from one of Faith's parents about what they thought when the judge said that he saw

256

Faith's beauty in your family.

257

I didn't know if I can answer it over there.

258

Is faith over fear?

259

See the line, like the division line?

260

It means we have faith over fear.

261

We're not scared.

262

We have faith, like I said, this whole time that we would get the verdict that we got.

263

And as you can see on the back, justice for faith.

264

And we got it.

265

So we got no fear because we got faith.

266

I just wanted to tell us your reaction when the judge said that he saw faith, beauty in the office.

267

He had to see it in Connie, okay, not me.

268

That's all I got to say.

269

You know, we tried to represent faith during the whole trial, okay?

270

not just our own feelings or not us as individuals, but we tried to represent her with dignity, and that's all I have to say.

271

Okay.

272

Thank you.

273

Thank you.

274

Do you accept appeals and how are you prepared for that?

275

Well, they've already filed notice of appeal and that would be expected in this type of case.

276

And now that's in the hands of the appellate defender and the Attorney General.

277

Can you see there?

278

Yes.

279

Can you talk about your constitution as far as, you know, they clearly proved their case,

280

that this was part of a slam dunk case because there were questions about evidence and a lot of questions came up.

281

Can you talk about how you all navigated that?

282

And can you also talk about what this means to the community

283

that you were able to get a conviction on a case that was 14 years ago?

284

So we actually didn't know we were preparing for this case years ago when we applied for a grant from U .S.

285

Department of Justice for a cold case prosecution team.

286

Angela and Charles are part of that team.

287

We got a grant.

288

We have, it was part of our attempts to catch up on the Saki Kicks,

289

the sexual assault kits, which Durham was the the first to clear its sexual assault backlog thanks to these folks.

290

And And what we didn't know then was that we were building the capacity to take on this case.

291

I promised Faith's family that I would put my best people on it.

292

Angela is not only an experienced prosecutor, as our cold case sexual assault prosecutor,

293

she probably has more knowledge than any prosecutor in the state in prosecuting these cases.

294

Brooks as our child sexual assault prosecutor, I want you to remember that

295

Faith was a child.

296

She was 19 and Brooks' particular skill is working with victims who really can't speak, who are not going to be able to take the stand,

297

who are not going to be able to tell you what happened to them.

298

And both of them have developed really strong skills in the science of it

299

and in understanding the science of it and Lisa has prosecuted murder cases all around the state with all kinds of judges,

300

all kinds of circumstances and we really needed somebody to make sure

301

that we did not forget that at the center of this case was a homicide.

302

And so this team, I can't say enough about how hard they have prepared

303

and we have really been working on this case almost every day for the last two years.

304

And it has, like the family says, we've become close to them.

305

This case is personal for me because at the time that we really started working on it.

306

My youngest daughter was a 19 year old at UNC Chapel Hill

307

and she had just moved off campus

308

and I could not imagine what it would feel like to get

309

that telephone call and we just all knew

310

that we could not let this family down

311

and of course it it means a lot to you know

312

we want to we're thankful to the jurors here in Durham County.

313

We had a diverse jury.

314

That was our goal for our jury to look like Durham County.

315

And it was also important to us that we talk about, and you've heard me talk about it, you've heard Faith's family talk about it.

316

It is important to us that we've elevated this case because she was a murdered indigenous woman and there,

317

like Alexis said, there are women who are never going to get this kind of media attention.

318

They're never going to have people stand up and say their names.

319

And for us, that is what faith stands for.

320

Every time you say faith's name, remember that there are other women out there, too, who have not yet had their day in court.

321

Thank you for that.

322

That's very important.

323

Thank you, Madam FBA.

324

I would like to ask, we're going back to the big case.

325

We know that the judge definitively ruled against third -party culpability.

326

But were you concerned at all

327

that the defense would be able to create enough confusion without crossing the line over into asking

328

and guiding someone else that he could use the questions about Carino's testimony to confuse the jury?

329

Not to say that Miguel didn't do it, but just mess it up so that they're just not sure.

330

So the other thing I want to say is...

331

We 100 % trusted Corrina Rosario.

332

I think what people have forgotten and all the social media

333

and all the media is that she was a 19 -year -old child too.

334

And she came home and saw her best friend murdered in a brutal way.

335

And because she didn't act like people expected her to act, oh, it must have been something.

336

But from day one, we knew Karina was not involved.

337

From day one, we knew, however, that it was important that we hear from her and

338

that she had the opportunity to tell what it was like for her.

339

I'll give members of the prosecution team, if they want to add to that anything

340

but it is really important to say

341

that at no time at no time did we believe Karina Rosario was involved with

342

that and we were prepared every time that the defense brought

343

that up yeah obviously the center of this case is faith

344

but I personally met with Karina earlier this year for the first time

345

I think the entire prosecution team met with her for the first time.

346

She has been always available, but from the first time that we met with her,

347

it was apparent, abundantly apparent,

348

that despite all of the scrutiny that she has lived under, that she desperately loved

349

Faith and missed

350

Faith, and that she wanted justice for Faith as well.

351

there was never any question in our mind that she had any involvement whatsoever and I

352

personally am happy that that hopefully this will vindicate her some

353

that this will get her out from a cloud

354

that she's been living under for a long time and I hope

355

that I'm not going to get into her personal business

356

because she has remained very private but I hope

357

that this today will allow her to move forward with her life in a way

358

that she has not been able to for a long time.

359

How many questions are we not doing now?

360

There's someone there.

361

Well, now what's the question?

362

I'm sorry.

363

I was just wondering, when you go into these things,

364

you've got to play a psychological game and if it's a test match and all that stuff, did you believe wholeheartedly that the DNA,

365

that if the jurors might not, they could close the books on everything else?

366

I think when I'm thinking about trying a case, it doesn't feel like a game to me or a psychological exercise?

367

I wasn't implying.

368

No, I know, I know.

369

I'm just trying to think through the question and make sure I answer it honestly.

370

We would never prosecute a case.

371

We didn't have evidence that we believe proves, beyond a reasonable doubt, the guilt of the person we're prosecuting.

372

And that's one of the privileges of being a prosecutor because we have discretion.

373

We don't take cases to trial that we don't believe.

374

We have evidence to prove.

375

And so going into any trial,

376

and particularly this one, in response to the other person who asked about questions that came up or is the DNA enough,

377

et cetera, I think what I focus on

378

and what our team focused on is putting in front of the jury all of the evidence

379

that we have that we believe proves beyond a reasonable doubt someone's guilt

380

and at a point we have to trust that once we've done

381

that regardless of you know everything else we've done our best

382

and we have to trust the jury to do their job and that's how we approach this case too.

383

Does that answer the question?

384

Okay.

385

I would just like to say to someone who lives far far away from here,

386

the thing I recognize with all of you is this incredible unity.

387

not just with your family who likes to vote for most of you, but the people in your community is so impressive

388

and can you just speak very quickly to the strength of the entire community coming to bat for you essentially.

389

I mean it's really an extraordinary thing to witness.

390

And this is going to be, we'll let the family have the last word.

391

I almost forgot the question.

392

Our tribe means a lot to us.

393

and even other tribes, we've had a lot of support, but we know that our community has been impacted a lot.

394

And like my sister mentioned, Faith is not the only one from our community who has been murdered.

395

A lot of people, especially in the last few years, are still waiting for justice, and their families are waiting.

396

And I just want to say we stand with you, because y 'all stand with us.

397

We're proud to be Halawasaponi, and we're proud of our people,

398

and we're so grateful for our tiny town of Hollister for traveling all this way to be with us.

399

And I wanted to add something about our shirts.

400

We have a scholarship in Faith's name and her memory where we give recipients or incoming freshmen to colleges,

401

to four -year universities for girls like

402

Faith coming into a four -year university.

403

We try to help them.

404

We started this in 2014, 2013.

405

Right after Faith was killed, it's just a way to keep her memory alive

406

and to always keep her name out there and to try to give back to the community because, like I said, our community stands behind us,

407

so we stand behind them.

408

And one thing we knew was going to be challenging with this trial because we did anticipate four to six weeks,

409

like y 'all said, we knew it would cost a lot, hotel stays, gas, food.

410

We have gotten a lot of monetary donations, but in preparation of that, we started a t -shirt sale.

411

I make these shirts, and we have decals and buttons, and every amount of money that we've gained,

412

that we've been donated, that we've gotten from our sale has went to my family

413

in efforts of travel expenses and any remaining funds go towards her scholarship.

414

We have a fundraiser every year for her scholarship.

415

So if you want to donate, please let us know.

416

And yeah, that's just another way we keep

417

Faith's memory alive.

418

So we appreciate y 'all and that's it.

419

Thank you all.

420

Thank you.

421

Thank you.

422

Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
