SUMMARY: Day two of the trial for Jose Abara, accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus earlier this year, continued today. The prosecution presented evidence, including selfies Abara allegedly posted to Snapchat just before Riley’s death. They claim the images show him disposing of a jacket containing Riley’s DNA. Additional testimony pointed to similarities in clothing worn by Abara and his brother, Diego, who was seen with a dirt-covered hat. Jail phone calls were also presented, where Abara’s wife urged him to tell the truth. The prosecution will rest their case tomorrow, seeking life imprisonment.

The murder trial of Jose Ibarra, the illegal immigrant accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley on the campus of the University of Georgia, continues in its second day. On Nov. 18, the prosecutors focused on the disposed clothing of the suspect that contained Riley’s DNA and Ibarra’s personal cellphone activity.
