Fox News
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says that justice was served after a judge sentenced the 26-year-old migrant from Venezuela who was convicted of murdering Laken Riley to a life sentence in prison.
Kemp said the conviction and sentencing were "no surprise" and emphasized that Riley's murder was "a really tragic set of circumstances. Tragic for that family and I've certainly had them in my thoughts and prayers. I know that people in Georgia and around the country have."
The 22-year-old Riley, a nursing student, was attacked in February while running on a trail on the University of Georgia campus in Athens. Ibarra was charged in connection with the killing a day later.
