Laken Riley's killer Jose Ibarra has been found guilty of her murder. The undocumented Venezuelan migrant, 26, had pleaded not guilty to the 22-year-old nursing's students February, 2023, murder near the University of Georgia. Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard found him guilty after he waived his right to a jury trial. The trial began on Friday. Riley's family sobbed as the decision was read, while Ibarra did not show a strong reaction. The case fueled the immigration debate during this year's presidential election.
