Jose Ibarra’s defense team is currently in the midst of a fast-moving murder trial, with the possibility of the case going to the judge for deliberation as early as today. The defense recently called one of Ibarra’s brothers, Diego Ibarra, to the stand, but he was not questioned. This decision came after Diego Ibarra's attorney advised against his testimony, leading to a brief pause in proceedings as the prosecution sought clarification.
Diego Ibarra, who is currently in federal custody, has previously pleaded guilty to possession of fraudulent documents. The defense has raised speculation about the potential involvement of both Diego and another brother, Argenis, in the crime under investigation.
