Two years after he was charged for the murder of his brother-in-law, 20-year-old Levan Aldana, a resident of Biscayne, Arthur Hill began his trial for murder in May of 2026. The trial lasted 8 days and a trial-within-a-trial was held to determine the admissibility of an important piece of evidence, where the deceased named his killer to a police officer in his dying breath.
Aldana succumbed from multiple stab wounds and a neighbor testified that he had seen both Aldana and Hill together minutes before Aldana was fatally stabbed. And when police arrived at the scene, Hill was observed in a change of clothes and blood on his elbow. Hill was represented in court by attorney Norman Rodriguez, and despite his attempts at a no-case submission, Justice Candace Nanton ruled that there was sufficient evidence made out against Hill. Upon analyzing all evidence, Justice Nanton found Hill guilty of Aldana's murder and was satisfied with all findings beyond a reasonable doubt. Hill's sentencing has been set for September 18, 2026.
