I’m a criminal trial junkie and have watched hundreds of trials gavel to gavel. I have NEVER been more impressed with an attorney (prosecutor or defense) than Sheila Ross. Phenomenal job! Justice for Laken 💜
Her sister's impact statement was absolutely heart-wrenching. I'm glad justice was swift in this case and I hope prison justice swiftly deletes that evil POS.
All of them had me tearing up. As a father, I couldn't imagine what dad was going through. He taught that woman exactly how not to be a soft target, and still, she lost her life. I would be blaming myself if that was my daughter. It's not his fault. But I know he blames himself from his statement. She had so many best friends. She was going to be somebody.
To Judge Haggard and prosecutor, Sheila Ross; what a terrific display of lawyering and courtroom justice that I’ve had the honor of watching. Thank you both and your teams. Well done! ⚖️ R.I.P. Laken Riley 💖
According to what Laken had written in her journal, Laken was vowing to her future husband, who ever he might have been, that she would be a Proverbs 31:10-31 wife and mother.
@54:39 is the exact point where the prosecutor convinced this judge, based on the facial expression that this judge made exactly at 54:39. It starts when she says: "He put huge holes in her head, with a rock. And he did it more than once, and there could be no other reason to do that, other than to silence her forever, so that she could not call Sergeant Maxwell or anyone from the University of Georgia police department and report that he tried to rape her". Amazing prosecutor! Extremely passionate about her job, and boy, what a woman! 😍
During sentencing, the judge told a murdering illegal immigrant “in the event you wish to appeal, if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you”. Tax payers money hard at work for a murdering illegal immigrant for an “APPEAL”. I cannot make this stuff up
A lot of people will disagree with me, but this stuff is what gives our system legitimacy and separates it from kangaroo court where the outcome is prearranged.
Oh he'd been doing this for a while. He obviously doesn't/didn't have a job... just a lazy psycho who got his "free" tax payer funded food stamps and everything else paid for by us.
That monster sitting there with no idea what the family is even saying because he he doesn’t speak English, makes me sick. He will never know the pain he’s caused
This person was not raised in the same culture and with the same morals and standards that you did. There is a reason we have a vetting process for immigrants.
Rest in Peace Laken Riley Justice truly has been served.🦋🌹 Thank you Judge, and it's so refreshing that a sentence was worthy of the life taken. It truly shows how a Life should be honoured and what is a life worth in the Eyes of the Law and to each of us as Human Beings....that's Integrity. I hope it goes towards helping Laken's loved ones find some sort of peace 🙏🦋💙
The defense’s closing argument might sound a bit compelling to a jury, but this is just downright insulting to a judge. They’re delivering this information as if he has the understanding of a 6th grader
He should have been given the DS. This couldn't have been the first time he has done this. Considering that he's from another country, he should have been used as an example of our justice system. I don't feel justice was served.
The people, the taxpayers of Georgia will be paying for this thing(the guilty defendant) for housing, food, clothing, medical, dental care, etc., for decades and decades, which is an absolute disgusting waste of the Georgia taxpayers. Talk about adding insult to injury.
Doesn't Georgia have the death penalty? That makes Justice so much easier, cheaper and better right?. Ok didn't know death penalty costs more and would drag out longer. Appreciate the correction.
He's getting consecutive life sentences for each federal charge and then 20 years plus another 7 years total for misdemeanors after that without parole. BAILIFF TAKE HIM AWAY!!
It’s not Federal charges or court. That would be a whole other courthouse, judge, attorneys & prison. It’s State of Georgia - State charges. State prison.
4:10:55 - bodycam footage of when Laken’s family learned her fate. so sad seeing her mothers reaction 3:22:32 - Laken’s mothers victim impact statement 😢
Rest in Peace Laken Riley, you were a beautiful angel who doesn’t deserve this kind of pain! I will pray for you and your family and of course I will pray for this monster to day by day has a nasty life in prison and nights with nightmares that doesn’t let him in peace any second of his miserable life.
I struggle between Life in Prison and a Death Sentence. Laken's Stong Faith would not want the Death Penalty. But, knowing this person's background, he'll spend his life in prison in a gang. Most likely killing inside prison again. Among other crimes inside prison.
Great job by the Prosecution but the Judge didn’t go far enough in condemning what this scumbag did. He should have taken the opportunity to tell him what a monster he is and that he is deserving of spending the rest of his life in prison. Ibarra showed no remorse, so I don’t doubt he could care less. I hope his life sentence gives him time to reflect.
I love this prosecutor. At the end of the day the day gots to end. This mfer broke heavy laws against an innocent civilian. She did not deserve that. This individual is just horrid.
According to the journal that Laken wrote to her future husband, not yet knowing who he would have been, Laken was promising to be a Proverbs 31:10-31 wife and mother.
The ridiculous and hilarious irony of this case is that, because of Diego, who is just as much of a scumbag as his brother, having a fraudulent green card, and a pending federal case associated with it, he didn't end up being the defense's star witness, like they thought he would be, after his garbage heap of a brother and his defense team tried to pin this whole case on him, even despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.
Why are we wasting US dollars on a non-citizen? Why are they given the same legal privileges as citizens? This man so clearly murdered this woman, this is insanity.
That female defense speaks just as a politician does: What you have seen and heard about, you ain’t really seen and heard. Therefore you have to only believe me. OH BOY!!
So i was trying to watch this trial naked - meaning not knowing anything.. legit the moment they started listing out all the evidence I was like its done. This case was like a gift for a prosecution it had ALL the main pieces of evidence you need and want in a case to convict. The DNA was found on the body, the guy was seen disposing evidence that had both bloog stains on it and her hair, he has defensive wounds on his body, he was identified in the video and pictures and had images on his phone that same day of himself using the phone that was pinging by Lakens RUn, he was identified by another runner earielr and seen on CCTV creeping and trying to break into a females dorm room multiple times. I mean I was trying to see how a defense or even reasonable doubt could come maybe Casey Anthony's lawyer could of put some "pixie dust" in the air but reviewing the evidence it speaks for itself, this guy convicted himself in this case. AT first I was wondering it maybe he took the fall for his brother or maybe his brother was there too but it isn't supported by anything that Diego was there.
QUE RARO Q FACILMENTR EL HERMANO DIGA A TODO Q ES SU HERMANO . Pero era su gorra . ACASO NO SERA EL HERMANO DE JOSE EL Q LO HIZO ? Xq para q un hermano diga tan facil q es su hermano cuando lo estan acusando de sesinato , es raro . Y el hermano dice q el tambien tiene guantes …. No se muy evidente el hermano . Y el tiene el mismo ADN de jose ibarra
Um yeah defense attorney - Yo tengo means "I have". And prosecutor it's spelled "tengo" not "tango". Anyway. So glad justice was served. He actually thought he might have a better chance at a bench trial hahah. Bye boi!
Prosecutor did a great job. I appreciated her professionalism and passion.
One of the best and most organized. She was on her toes the whole time.
I agree. She is a phenomenal Prosecutor. I looked forward to watching her present the case.
I’m disgusted at the fact that he took his headphones off while the family and friends read their impact statements. That should not have been allowed
I saw that & so did the judge.
The lady next to him told him every word they were saying
His translator was right next to him
There was a lady right next to him translating
I’m a criminal trial junkie and have watched hundreds of trials gavel to gavel. I have NEVER been more impressed with an attorney (prosecutor or defense) than Sheila Ross. Phenomenal job! Justice for Laken 💜
you would love the prosecutor in leilani simon trial if you havent seen yet
Respect for this judge and the prosecutor. Thank you.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Her sister's impact statement was absolutely heart-wrenching. I'm glad justice was swift in this case and I hope prison justice swiftly deletes that evil POS.
All of them had me tearing up. As a father, I couldn't imagine what dad was going through. He taught that woman exactly how not to be a soft target, and still, she lost her life. I would be blaming myself if that was my daughter. It's not his fault. But I know he blames himself from his statement. She had so many best friends. She was going to be somebody.
Life without parole! Justice for Laken and her family ❤
GA has the death penalty, which would've been a fit punishment for this crime. The Judge was soft.
To Judge Haggard and prosecutor, Sheila Ross; what a terrific display of lawyering and courtroom justice that I’ve had the honor of watching. Thank you both and your teams. Well done! ⚖️ R.I.P. Laken Riley 💖
That journal entry read by her dad was touching. Such a loss. RIP Laken.
According to what Laken had written in her journal, Laken was vowing to her future husband, who ever he might have been, that she would be a Proverbs 31:10-31 wife and mother.
He should not receive an opportunity to appeal. He is here illegally.
"Sending you my condolences on the loss of your loved one." "My thoughts are with you during this time of mourning."
This breaks my heart hearing the crying in the background, that must be her mother. Prayers for her and her family….
I hope he gets some prison justice. He is evil. He tried to use his own brother knowing what he did.
This lawyer is absolutely fantastic
My heart goes out to Laken Riley's family and friends.
If I ever became a lawyer, I would aspire to be this prosecutor.
@54:39 is the exact point where the prosecutor convinced this judge, based on the facial expression that this judge made exactly at 54:39.

Amazing prosecutor! Extremely passionate about her job, and boy, what a woman! 😍
I felt that too.. she did amazing I really enjoyed watching her from opening to closing 👏
I wonder how awkward that interpreter sitting next to him feels during all this. 😬 RIP Laken ❤
I was wondering the same thing.
During sentencing, the judge told a murdering illegal immigrant “in the event you wish to appeal, if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you”. Tax payers money hard at work for a murdering illegal immigrant for an “APPEAL”. I cannot make this stuff up
It's gross.
A lot of people will disagree with me, but this stuff is what gives our system legitimacy and separates it from kangaroo court where the outcome is prearranged.
The system is broken.
FED UP with it. Absolutely ridiculous.
@@cathbooth1980Inaccurate. What is broken is our "immigration" system. Close the border!!! Deport, deport, deport!!!
So much better than jury trials. More quick and efficient so family doesn't have to spend triple the time waiting for justice.
I would guarantee that he had been stalking that apartment building looking for a victim prior to the day of the murder.
Oh he'd been doing this for a while. He obviously doesn't/didn't have a job... just a lazy psycho who got his "free" tax payer funded food stamps and everything else paid for by us.
The audacity of him to state he is not a delinquent. The audacity to try to throw his brother under the bus. This man is disturbed.
the defendants lawyer hates herself right now lmaoo
That monster sitting there with no idea what the family is even saying because he he doesn’t speak English, makes me sick. He will never know the pain he’s caused
Even if he spoke English, he would not care anyway
Everything is been translated.
Well Fulton County needs to page from this prosecutor. Exceptional job well done
JAIL/PRISON INMATES SHOULD NOT BE PERMITTED TO POSSESS TABLETS, CELL PHONES, COMPUTERS, OR ANY INTERNET ACCESS. INCARCERATION ISN'T LEISURE TIME, FFS!
I will never understand why people do things like this. RIP.
Evil exists. Demons are real.
This person was not raised in the same culture and with the same morals and standards that you did. There is a reason we have a vetting process for immigrants.
This crime shouldnt have happened.
My most heartfelt condolences go out to all those that love Laken. I cried listening to your testimonies of Laken.
Thank you Judge for giving Laken and her family some peace . Justice was served . The judge got it right
All the testimonies show Laken was a beautiful soul . The monster stole from her family and friends .
There is a saying, “death is the only lasting justice.” May the scales be balanced once more.
Rest in Peace Laken Riley Justice truly has been served.🦋🌹 Thank you Judge, and it's so refreshing that a sentence was worthy of the life taken. It truly shows how a Life should be honoured and what is a life worth in the Eyes of the Law and to each of us as Human Beings....that's Integrity.
I hope it goes towards helping Laken's loved ones find some sort of peace 🙏🦋💙
He acts like he doesnt even know why hes there. Prison justice awaits perhaps. RIP LAKEN🌹
The defense’s closing argument might sound a bit compelling to a jury, but this is just downright insulting to a judge. They’re delivering this information as if he has the understanding of a 6th grader
So running the same test will give different results? This minute was her attempt to a mistrial lmao
Posting on social media while illegally in a country is WILD
He should have been given the DS. This couldn't have been the first time he has done this. Considering that he's from another country, he should have been used as an example of our justice system. I don't feel justice was served.
The people, the taxpayers of Georgia will be paying for this thing(the guilty defendant) for housing, food, clothing, medical, dental care, etc., for decades and decades, which is an absolute disgusting waste of the Georgia taxpayers. Talk about adding insult to injury.
they really tried so hard to throw his brother under the bus 😂
I find that astounding!
Justice has been served! All though the death penalty would have been better.
Murderer isn't even listening to the family statements!
The defence guy was actually ashamed to be up their you could feel it in his sentencing statement
Doesn't Georgia have the death penalty? That makes Justice so much easier, cheaper and better right?. Ok didn't know death penalty costs more and would drag out longer. Appreciate the correction.
I am highly disappointed the state didn’t go for it. He would have gotten it. I am now putting my faith in prison justice.
Dp cases aren't cheaper
Death penalty cases cost the state far more not less.
Death penalty sentences are far more expensive to try and carry out. Longer trials, more experts, more appeals.
The previous DA took the death penalty off the table for this case.
closing argument by defense… he wasn’t trying to convince the judge he was trying to convince himself! he knew he was wrong!
He's getting consecutive life sentences for each federal charge and then 20 years plus another 7 years total for misdemeanors after that without parole. BAILIFF TAKE HIM AWAY!!
It’s not Federal charges or court. That would be a whole other courthouse, judge, attorneys & prison. It’s State of Georgia - State charges. State prison.
@DRobb-zi2rj listen to it AGAIN. THEY ARE FELONY CHARGES AGAINST HIM BY THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
I know that defense attorney has a job to do, but F her!!! 🤬
4:10:55 - bodycam footage of when Laken’s family learned her fate. so sad seeing her mothers reaction
3:22:32 - Laken’s mothers victim impact statement 😢
Made me sick to my stomach.
Rest in Peace Laken Riley, you were a beautiful angel who doesn’t deserve this kind of pain!
I will pray for you and your family and of course I will pray for this monster to day by day has a nasty life in prison and nights with nightmares that doesn’t let him in peace any second of his miserable life.
Hope he stays in prison for life.
I can't imagine being his public defender
I struggle between Life in Prison and a Death Sentence. Laken's Stong Faith would not want the Death Penalty. But, knowing this person's background, he'll spend his life in prison in a gang. Most likely killing inside prison again. Among other crimes inside prison.
Rest in Paradise Laken 🦋 you beautiful soul 🙏
I pray he gets what he deserves in prison for all his life there!!!! All evil to him!!!!
Great job by the Prosecution but the Judge didn’t go far enough in condemning what this scumbag did. He should have taken the opportunity to tell him what a monster he is and that he is deserving of spending the rest of his life in prison. Ibarra showed no remorse, so I don’t doubt he could care less. I hope his life sentence gives him time to reflect.
I wouldn’t be able to sit in the room with him. Nope !
Why did they let him take the headset off?!?!? So disrespectful!!!!!!!
@@jessicakeeney2343 he has an interpreter next to him
3:42:52 heart wrenching. I am so sorry
THANK YOU YESHUA! THANK YOU STATE AND THANK YOU JUDGE!!! JUSTICE IS SERVED!!!
To family and friends. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. This world is a horrible place. I'm soo sorry this happened to your family.
Don’t get why they even give him an opportunity to appeal. Ugh that’s what did it. Annoyed.
So messed up trying to blame his brother 😮
I love this prosecutor. At the end of the day the day gots to end. This mfer broke heavy laws against an innocent civilian. She did not deserve that. This individual is just horrid.
According to the journal that Laken wrote to her future husband, not yet knowing who he would have been, Laken was promising to be a Proverbs 31:10-31 wife and mother.
Not wearing earphones!
I think the interpreter is translating directly to him
Even the brother is so arrogant.
Difficult to hear...(can't hear) video.
The first translator is just so awful.
The ridiculous and hilarious irony of this case is that, because of Diego, who is just as much of a scumbag as his brother, having a fraudulent green card, and a pending federal case associated with it, he didn't end up being the defense's star witness, like they thought he would be, after his garbage heap of a brother and his defense team tried to pin this whole case on him, even despite the mountain of evidence to the contrary.
The defense had nothing, but she tried. Dude was so obviously guilty.
Why are we wasting US dollars on a non-citizen? Why are they given the same legal privileges as citizens? This man so clearly murdered this woman, this is insanity.
100% agree with you. This is absolute bs. So sad.
That female defense speaks just as a politician does: What you have seen and heard about, you ain’t really seen and heard. Therefore you have to only believe me. OH BOY!!
Justice.

Sorry but silhouette looks like Diego and nothing like Jose
Evil
What an animal
El que traduce le pone el mismo acento venezolano 😅🤣🤣
🤬Show a little respect and compassion for her family.
What do you even mean by that?
And you're crying laughing? You from the same place as that piece of trash? Gtfoh
Terrible Interpreter
