## Resource

A chilling murder trial is finally underway for Mary Collins, the 20-year-old Charlotte native found stabbed 130 times and hidden in a mattress six years ago. Her grandmother recalls her as a funny, shy photographer — a stark contrast to the brutality of her death. Two suspects, Lavi Pham and James Salerno, face first-degree murder and kidnapping charges. Jury selection has begun, with the judge warning of graphic evidence ahead. This six-week trial could deliver justice for a life cut tragically short.
