Jose Ibarra’s defense team began presenting its case Tuesday in the trial over the murder of Laken Riley, calling two witnesses whose testimony was intended to cast doubt on the prosecution's timeline of events the day Riley was killed and to suggest Ibarra's brother could have been responsible.

For Laken Riley’s mother, the anguish of losing a child in a gruesome attack is amplified by the horror of hearing details about the final minutes of her life.

Here are the key moments from day three in the murder trial of Jose Antonio Ibarra, the man accused of killing Georgia nursing student, Laken Riley.

An FBI special agent testified Monday that electronic location data seems to place Georgia nursing student Laken Riley and the man accused of killing her in the same wooded area at the time of her death. Meanwhile, prosecutors also played a recording of Ibarra being grilled by his wife about the case during a jail phone call.

The slaying of the Georgia nursing student has been a focal point in the national discussion about immigration, a major presidential campaign issue.

The last moments before Laken Riley was killed while out on a run on the University of Georgia's campus were shown in court Tuesday on the third day of the trial involving the murder of the 22-year-old nursing student.
