The Venezuelan man accused of murdering a 22-year-old Georgia nursing student was found guilty.
CORRECTS DATE Jose Ibarra appears at his trial at the Athens-Clarke County Superior Court on Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024, in Athens, Ga.
Haggard who "filled up two legal pads full of notes" during the Laken Riley murder trial said he wrote the prosecution's statement, "The evidence was overwhelming and powerful." In his notes he said he also wrote down the defense attorney's statement that he's was "required to set aside" his emotions.The defense team rested their case in the morning.
Ibarra's attorneys had planned on calling Ibarra's brother, Diego, to the stand Wednesday afternoon, but they had to hold off. One of Jose Ibarra's defense attorneys, John Donnelly, told the judge he learned Diego had a new attorney for his immigration case. He said he spoke to the attorney by phone and the attorney was two hours away but said he would advise his client not to testify.
Riley called her mother at 9:03 a.m. that morning, and by the time her mother called back about 20 minutes later, the student had encountered Jose Ibarra on a wooded running trail, according to trial testimony. Prosecutors have said Ibarra killed Riley after a struggle, and data from Riley’s smartwatch shows her heart stopped beating at 9:28 a.m.
The woman said, "If you tell them, I will tell them you did, and then I will kill you too." She admitted she wasn't a fluent Spanish speaker and described Diego's English as "broken."
