The murder trial for the suspect accused of killing 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia's campus is expected to start in mid-November.
Friday, August 2, 2024 5:15PM22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia's campus is expected to start in mid-November, a judge said Friday, as the defense is seeking to move the high-profile case to another county.
The suspect, Jose Ibarra, appeared in the Athens-Clarke County courtroom for the hearing Friday morning. Haggard preliminarily gave prosecutors within 10 days of the motion's filing to respond to the request and said he would like to have a motions hearing sometime in late September or early October. Riley, a student at Augusta University, was found dead in a wooded area on the Athens campus on Feb. 22 after she didn't return from a run. The indictment alleges Ibarra killed her by "inflicting blunt force trauma to her head and by asphyxiating her" and seriously disfigured her head by striking her "multiple times" with a rock.
