Illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra is standing trial in Athens, Georgia, accused of murdering nursing student Laken Riley, 22, while she was running on the University of Georgia campus on Feb. 22.
The suspected killer has waived his right to a jury trial and is being tried by a judge. He faces life behind bars if convicted.
Ibarra’s brother Diego, a fellow suspected Tren de Aragua gang member who is currently behind bars for faking a green card, is set to testify Wednesday.
