    The family of Rachel Morin took the podium at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on day two to talked about losing their loved one in a high-profile homicide in Maryland, one in a series of speakers who talked about their personal experiences with crime or substance abuse in the past four years.

    Morin was killed in August 2023 in Maryland by Victor Hernandez Martinez, a man living in a country illegally.

    The Republican National Convention is in Milwaukee through Thursday where former President Donald Trump on Thursday will formally accept the party’s nomination for the 2024 Election.
