Shocking Twist in Georgia Nursing Student Laken Riley's Murder Trial

The trial for Jose Ibarra, the undocumented migrant accused of murdering nursing student Laken Riley in Georgia, is scheduled to begin this week. On the eve of the trial, the district attorney announced that Ibarra was opting for a bench trial — rather than a jury trial. The move has left legal observers scratching their heads. Ibarra has pleaded not guilty. Customs officials have said he was in the country illegally.
