Jurors have begun deliberations in the trial of a North Carolina college student 14 years ago. Faith Hedgepeth was a 19-year-old sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when she was fatally beaten in her off-campus apartment in 2012. Miguel Salguero Olivares was arrested nine years later. He has pleaded not guilty to murder, rape and burglary charges. Prosecutors say Salguero Olivares was a stranger who killed Hedgepeth in a fit of rage and left his DNA behind. The defense said that DNA could have come from a consensual encounter days earlier.
