Man accused of killing Georgia nursing student Laken Riley waives jury trial | Attorney Analysis

The man accused of killing a nursing student on the University of Georgia’s campus is expected back in court. 

Laken Riley's body was found after a friend told police she had not returned from a morning run. Jose Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant, was arrested the next day in connection to her death. 

The case quickly became a flashpoint in the national debate over immigration. 

Meanwhile, another high-profile trial in Georgia continues. Prosecutors are trying to prove Rappers Shannon Stillwell (SB) and Deamonte Kendrick (Yak Gotti) are part of a criminal street gang known as Young Slime Life. Defense Attorneys argue YSL is not a gang, but a record label called Young Stoner Life. 

Atlanta Attorney Suri Chadha Jimenez joined ANF+ to weigh in on both trials.
