The family of Maryland mother Rachel Morin had the opportunity to address the court in front of Victor Martinez-Hernandez, who was sentenced on Monday to life in prison for her murder.

Hernandez, the man found guilty of raping and killing Rachel Morin on the Ma and Pa Heritage Trail in 2023, was sentenced to life without parole Monday after hearing directly from her family in open court.

Judge Yolanda Curtin sentenced him to life for the first-degree murder conviction, life for the rape charge, and an additional 40 years for a third-degree sex offence and kidnapping. He will serve the entire sentence in a Maryland prison.
