Of all the issues that affected the presidential race, the one that was most important on peoples minds was the murder by an illegal immigrant of Laken Riley.
CNN —
The undocumented migrant accused of killing Georgia nursing student Laken Riley — a slaying that ignited fresh debate over the border crisis — waived his right to a trial by jury Tuesday and agreed to a bench trial, in which a judge will decide his guilt or innocence.
With the prosecution in agreement, Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard approved 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra’s waiver. Through his translator, Ibarra told the judge he understands he can’t reverse his decision.
Riley, a 22-year-old Augusta University College of Nursing student, was killed February 22 while out for a run on the University of Georgia’s campus. Ibarra is an undocumented migrant from Venezuela whose case renewed fierce debate among politicians over who’s to blame for the border crisis.
In this case the judge should have no mercy, but to sentence the murderer to death. The animal doesn’t deserve to live.
