The mom of slain Maryland woman Rachel Morin said she isn’t even sure if she’d believe the illegal migrant convicted of killing her daughter if he chose to apologize during his sentencing hearing Monday.

Victor Martinez-Hernandez, a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, is set to be sentenced Monday morning after he was found guilty of raping and killing the mom-of-five while she was jogging in Baltimore in 2023.

Ahead of the hearing, Morin’s mother, Patty Morin, suggested to Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” that she was torn on whether she wanted to hear from the illegal immigrant.

“To be honest, I don’t know, because even if he spoke, would I believe what he said? If he said he was sorry, could I believe that he actually is or if he’s just saying that to you know, to hope for a lesser sentence,” Patty said when asked if she wanted an apology.

She added that the family had been urged not to address the brute directly when they delivered their emotional victim impact statements to the court.

“They have some protocols that they request that you follow. The two that I know of that they’ve requested is that we don’t address them directly, that we make our address to the judge, and that we don’t tell the judge what to sentence him,” she said.

“So I’m going to ask that the judge would honor Rachel’s life and preserve her dignity by giving her the justice that she deserves — and in doing that protecting other lives.”

Martinez-Hernandez, who was accused of entering the US illegally after allegedly killing another woman in his native country, was found guilty of snatching Morin off the running trail, bashing her head against nearby rocks, raping her and then hiding her body in a drainage culvert.

He is facing life in prison over the grim slaying that sent shock waves across the country and became a political flashpoint during the 2024 presidential election.

Morin left behind five children. 

It wasn’t immediately clear how many of her kids would address the sentencing hearing.
