It reportedly did not take long for a jury to determine Martinez-Hernandez's fate following a weeklong trial, finding him guilty of murdering the Maryland mother of five, who was abducted from the Ma & Pa trail in Harford County.
Specifically, Martinez-Hernandez was convicted of:
- First-degree premeditated murder;
- First-degree rape;
- Sexual assault;
- Kidnapping.
Morin, 37, was reported missing in August 2023, when she went to walk on the trail in Bel Air and was never seen again.
Her body was later found with severe injuries and stuffed in a tunnel drain along the trail, launching a massive manhunt that drew national attention.
Martinez-Hernandez was identified as a suspect, and was arrested in Oklahoma following Morin's murder.
It was later determined that he was also wanted in connection to a previous home invasion and assault of a young girl in California.
According to reports, it took the jury less than an hour to make their determination. Martinez-Hernandez, 24, is facing life in prison when he is sentenced later this year.
