After "Raped on the Reservation" aired, Martina attended the sentencing for the young man charged with assaulting her daughter, Marquita. Here she talks with one of Vanguard's producers about her feelings on the sentencing, her thoughts on the young man, and whether she'll ever be able to forgive him.

"Vanguard," airing weekly on Current TV Mondays at 9/8c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.

    • The abandoned houses have never been torn down and the house that Marquita was murdered in still stands....driving by that house and knowing that she was in there and all those bad things were done to her and it still stands really , really hurts, I just cant believe even to this day that this happened to me to our Reservation...a place i grew up in, a place i always walked ,that same maine street i've known all my lfe ,is the same street that took my daughters life. I hurts so bad.. things have'nt gotten better for me ,because i think about her all the time i miss her every minute of the day , i think about her constantly ..i just want her back , but i know it's not possible. Thank u John for airing this update as of today 2/17/11 Brian has been taken to Sioux Falls prison to start serving his 48 yr. sentence.

    • This is a very important aftermath to the film, "Rape on the Reservation," sentencing for the murder. Would still like to know if they ever tore down the abandoned houses...but it appears on this Vanguard Special this is not the case. Brave mother to continue helping us understand the pain of losing her daughter in such a brutal way, and asking the Tribe to do more to protect future young Indian women.
