The police bodycam video showing an officer finding the deceased body of nursing student Laken Riley was viewed in court Friday as a bench trial began for the man accused of the violent fatal attack.

Riley’s mother, who was already emotional from previous evidence, left the courtroom before the video played.

The suspect, Jose Antonio Ibarra, watched the tragic scene that unfolded on TV screens showing the desperate attempts by officers to resuscitate the young woman that testimony showed was beyond help.

The trial in Clarke County Superior Court before Judge Patrick Haggard will resume at 8:30 a.m. Monday as the prosecutor continues the presentation of evidence. Haggard will make a decision on Ibarra’s guilt on charges ranging from murder, attempted rape and aggravated battery. Ibarra had decided against having a jury trial.

Riley, 22, a former University of Georgia student who was studying to become a nurse in an Athens-based program run by Augusta University, was slain in a wooded area of the intramural field complex on Feb. 22. The autopsy report shows she died of blunt trauma to her head that fractured her skull and asphyxia, as the killer also deprived her brain of oxygen during the assault.

Much of the state’s case was laid out during the proceeding by special prosecutor Sheila Ross, who presented evidence collected at the crime scene, along with security camera footage, and clothing stained with Riley’s blood that Ross said belonged to Ibarra. Two blood-stained rocks, that Ross will contend were used in the attack, were also introduced as evidence.

Another piece of key evidence was Riley’s phone, which contained a thumb print that Ross said was matched to Ibarra.

Ross also introduced evidence of a peeping tom case that occurred earlier in the morning in the same general area when a graduate student called 911 to report a strange man attempting to enter her apartment.

UGA Police Sgt. Preston Norris pointed out on a map the close proximity where events transpired. Ibarra lived off South Milledge Avenue. Riley resided nearby on Milledge Avenue Extension. The peeping tom case occurred on nearby Rogers Road. All of these areas border the intramural field area, where Riley was slain.

Riley’s three roommates all testified about that tragic morning when Riley, an enthusiastic runner, left for a morning jog on campus. Lilly Steiner, Sofia Magana and Connolly Huth, all graduated from UGA in May, and are proceeding now with jobs or graduate school.

Their testimony showed how they all became concerned when Riley never returned from her run. She had a class that day and she was not the type to stray from her schedule, according to their testimony. Riley was also not answering her telephone.

Steiner and Magana went to the intramural field because an app on their phone showed Riley’s phone was still in that location. Magana, who brought along her dog Champ, said her dog tugged on the leash at something on a walking path and she saw an AirPod, which she recognized as belonging to Riley.

They called police.

UGA police Sgt. Kenneth Maxwell arrived and the young women showed him on their app where they had tracked the phone. Maxwell began walking through the forest, the body cam shows. He spotted the body of Riley near a young Magnolia tree partially covered with leaves and other forest debris.

Maxwell rushed to her side and immediately began an effort to help the woman, at one point exclaiming, “I’m not getting a pulse.”

Maxwell begins CPR and when Cpl. Mason Bridges arrived, he took over lifesaving measures. Another officer arrives to help and in the background, sirens can be heard as an Athens-Clarke County Fire truck arrives at the intramural fields.

Ibarra, who is listening to testimony through an interpreter, watched the video as the officers worked fervently on the woman, but at times his gaze would move downward and away from the video.

The prosecution also detailed facts that led to Ibarra’s arrest.

The peeping tom suspect’s photo was collected on a surveillance camera and it showed the man wearing a hooded jacket and holding a Styrofoam cup. Such a cup was found yards from where Riley was slain. Ross said that Ibarra’s DNA was found on the cup’s straw.

Another surveillance camera from a private residence proved pivotal, according to the testimony. It showed a man placing a jacket in a recycling dumpster at the Cielo at Azulyk Apartments on South Milledge Avenue. The apartments were also referenced in testimony as Argo Apartments, but are now known as The Grove at Five Points.

Ibarra lived in an apartment at the complex with two brothers and two others.

The security video obtained here also shows the man casually walk away from the dumpster and place some gloves in a thick hedge. One of the gloves had a tear in the thumb area, which the state argues provided the fingerprint evidence on Riley’s phone.

Athens-Clarke police officer Zachary Davis, who previously worked for UGA police, testified he had a “grainy” photo of the peeping tom suspect wearing a hooded jacket. He testified that he began looking into dumpsters and at the dumpster site at Cielo, he spotted a blue jacket inside.

After UGA police arrived, Davis testified he climbed into the dumpster to retrieve the jacket and quickly saw a hair tangled on the clothing.

After collecting the jacket and also noticing blood stains, he testified he saw a security camera nearby at a residence which pointed toward the dumpster. This led to the video showing the suspect tossing the jacket and hiding the gloves.

Riley’s cell phone was not found at the crime scene until after darkness had fallen..

Sgt. Norris testified that an earlier search failed to locate the phone, but he knew it was in the area. As he began another circular search of the crime scene, he located the phone partially hidden under leaves and a piece of wood.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent Daniella Stuart, who also collected the blood-stained rocks as she worked the crime scene, testified she saw and photographed the thumbprint on Riley's phone. Norris then lifted the print for evidence.

Other evidence at the crime scene showed an area of ground disruption on the forest floor just feet from where Riley’s body was moved and partially concealed. Also, a young tree, about an inch thick, had a blood stain and a strand of hair clinging to the bark, according to Stuart.

A section of the tree was admitted as evidence.
