A jury convicted Miguel Salguero Olivares of the 2012 rape and murder of UNC-Chapel Hill student Faith Hedgepeth.
Miguel Salguero Olivares was convicted Friday of first-degree murder, rape, sexual offense and burglary in the September 2012 death of 19-year-old UNC-Chapel Hill sophomore Faith Hedgepeth. He was arrested nine years later after a DWI stop produced a DNA sample that prosecutors said matched crime-scene evidence. Jurors deliberated six hours over two days; the defense rested without calling witnesses and argued investigators had tunnel vision.

The split, in one line
Both outlets run the same wire account of the verdict, quoting the prosecutor's "screaming his name" line and the same charge list. Only the headline differs, with "UNC student" versus "UNC-Chapel Hill student."
