40
The special commendation of Justin Heimer, who, Justin has been our right hand in this investigation.
41
Without him reinvestigating this case over these last five years, we would not have been able to bring this to justice.
42
Justin, I want to personally thank you.
43
Thank you.
44
I can tell you that this has been a dream team to work with,
45
and I'm just glad that we got a little bit of justice for the family today.

66
Thank you.
67
Salisa Lehiu, Police Chief with the Town of Chapel Hill.
68
14 years ago, we began this investigation with one goal, justice for Faith and her family.
69
As we worked and what happened to Faith, we also learned who she was,
70
a kind, caring, vibrant young woman who brought light to so many lives.
71
Knowing who Faith was helped keep our investigators going through long days, months, and eventually years.
72
There were times when answers felt far away, but we kept working, knowing her family was waiting and that
73
Faith deserved the very best.
74
I want to thank our Chapel Hill Police Department team
75
and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation for the countless hours that they devoted to this case.
76
I know how much of themselves they put into this work, and I am proud of their dedication.
77
I am grateful to the Durham County District Attorney's Office and our partners across
78
North Carolina and beyond for their expertise, their care, and their commitment to seeing this case through.
79
To the jurors, thank you for your service and for the time and care you gave to considering the evidence.
80
To Connie and Roland and Valanda and Chad and Caleb and to all of Faith's loved ones, thank you for your strength,
81
your patience, and your trust over all of these years.
82
Thank you for allowing us to walk beside you.
83
The grace you have shown through so much pain will always stay with us and you'll always be family.
84
Today's guilty verdict brings accountability for Faith's death.
85
That matters and we have worked hard towards this day for a very long time.
86
But we know it cannot bring
87
Faith back, take away the pain of the last 14 years,
88
or give her loved ones the years and memories they should still have ahead with her.
89
We hope today brings some of the answers you have waited so long for, and we will continue to stand beside everyone.
90
Above all, today is about faith, the life she lived, the people she touched, and the future she deserved.
91
Hi, I am Rolanda Hedgepeth.
92
I am my only sister.
93
I have a list of people I'd like to thank.
94
First of all, I would like to thank God, our creator for today.
95
I would like to thank the prosecution team, Brooke Stone, Angela Garcia LaMarca,
96
Lisa Coltrane, the Durham County District Attorney's Office, and their wonderful staff.
97
The investigative team, Phillip Stevens,
98
Justin Heinrich, Charles Soule, Westhouse,
99
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.

- Os sons de “th”: thankful /ˈθæŋkfəl/, nevertheless /ˌnɛvɚðəˈlɛs/
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: prosecution /ˌpɹɑ.sɪˈkju.ʃən/, scholarship /ˈskɑːləɹʃɪp/, conviction /kənˈvɪkʃən/, recognition /ˌɹɛkəɡˈnɪʃ(ə)n/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/

- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: grateful /ˈɡɹeɪtf(ə)l/, thankful /ˈθæŋkfəl/, skill /skɪl/, brutal /ˈbɹuːtəl/, parcel /ˈpɑɹsəl/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: homicide /ˈhɑ.məˌsaɪ̯d/, whatsoever /ˌ(h)wʌtsoʊˈɛvɚ/, wholeheartedly /ˌhoʊlˈhɑɹtədli/
Como praticar com este vídeo

- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como prosecutor, assault, indigenous.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
