Overview

• Victor Martinez-Hernandez faces charges including first-degree murder, rape, and kidnapping in the death of Rachel Morin.
• The defense rested its case after calling one witness, Megan Waltimyer, a digital forensic scientist who analyzed Morin’s phone data.
• Internet search queries on Morin’s phone about Facebook relationship statuses were a focus of the defense's questioning of Waltimyer.
• Prosecutors concluded their case last week after eight days of testimony, and closing arguments are now underway.
• Martinez-Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, declined to testify on his own behalf during the trial.
