The trial in the murder of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old Augusta University nursing student who was brutally killed back in February while jogging on the University of Georgia (UGA) campus, got under way Friday morning.

The accused is Jose Ibarra. The murder case has gotten intense publicity because Ibrarra, 26, is an illegal alien from Venezuela who should not have been in the country, let alone at liberty.
