The verdict is in on Laken Riley’s murder case. Day four of the trial commenced on Wednesday, nearly nine months to the day after University of Georgia nursing student Laken was brutally murdered while out on a jog.

And defendant Jose Ibarra was found… guilty. In a Court TV livestream, Judge H. Patrick Haggard declared the verdict: guilty on three counts each of felony murder, one count of malice murder, as well as charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault with attempt to rape, aggravated battery, obstructing a 911 call, tampering with evidence, and peeping tom.

Such a horrendous crime.
