‎Morin was violently attacked while jogging in Baltimore in 2023. Martinez-Hernandez was found guilty of raping Morin, striking her head against rocks, and concealing her body in a drainage culvert. Authorities allege he entered the United States illegally after allegedly committing another violent act in his home country.
‎
‎Patty Morin, Rachel’s mother, told Fox News’ Fox & Friends that she was conflicted about hearing an apology from the convicted killer. She questioned whether any expression of remorse would be genuine or a tactic to secure a lighter sentence.
‎
‎Court protocols guided the family in delivering their victim impact statements. They were asked to address the judge rather than the defendant directly and to avoid suggesting a specific sentence. Patty Morin emphasized her hope that the judge would honor Rachel’s life and protect others through the sentencing decision.
‎
‎The case drew nationwide attention and became a political flashpoint during the 2024 presidential election. Rachel Morin left behind five children, and it remained unclear how many would speak during the hearing. The sentencing represents a pivotal moment in a case that shocked Maryland and the nation.
