One — The illegal immigrant convicted of killing Georgia nursing student Laken Riley has received life without parole.  Jose Ibarra was found guilty on all ten counts by the judge who handed down the verdict after Ibarra waived his right to a jury trial.  The prosecution said Ibarra went hunting for women on the University of Georgia campus and encountered Riley on her morning run in Feburary.
