The mother of murdered Augusta University student Laken Riley became emotional during a hearing where illegal immigrant suspect Jose Ibarra learned his proposed trial date of Nov. 18. Ibarra, who entered the U.S. illegally from Venezuela, pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges in Riley's death during his arraignment in late May.
Athens-Clarke County Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard set the proposed trial date, with jury selection anticipated to start on Nov. 13, aiming to conclude the trial by Thanksgiving.
