SUMMARY: During day two of Jose Ibarra’s murder trial for the killing of nursing student Lakan Riley, law enforcement witnesses provided testimony about their findings from the day after the murder. Officers recounted their responses to the Argo Apartments, where they first encountered Ibarra’s brother, Diego. Body cam footage revealed Diego had no apparent injuries, while Jose, found asleep, had scratches on his arms. The prosecution highlighted differences between the brothers and noted DNA evidence linking Lakan to a hat seen on a suspect. The defense is attempting to confuse their identities as the trial continues. Coverage is ongoing.

The trial of a man accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley continues in Athens, with testimony expected to focus on evidence presented during Friday’s opening session.

Jose Ibarra, charged in Riley’s February death, waived his right to a jury trial, leaving Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard to decide his fate.

SUMMARY: A technical glitch at American Airlines caused a nationwide ground stop on Christmas Eve, impacting many travelers as they headed to visit loved ones. The issue, which lasted about an hour, affected flights at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and across the country, coinciding with record-breaking holiday travel, with TSA expecting to screen 40 million passengers. Although the glitch was resolved quickly, some delays persisted, with approximately half of flights into and out of Atlanta experiencing holdups. Thankfully, there were no major long-term consequences, and most travel remained relatively smooth despite a few cancellations.

A temporary shutdown by American Airlines led to some delayed flights this morning at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
