SUMMARY: Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was found guilty of murdering Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, whose death gained national attention in the immigration debate. Ibarra was convicted on multiple charges, including felony murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault. He faces life imprisonment without parole. Prosecutors argued that Ibarra attacked Riley while she was jogging, leading to her death after she resisted his alleged attempt to rape her. Defense attorneys claimed that evidence did not definitively link Ibarra to the crime, suggesting instead that his brother might be responsible. Ibarra opted for a bench trial and did not testify.
