Jose Ibarra, the man accused of killing a nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus, was in court in Athens on Friday.

Attorneys representing Jose Antonio Ibarra, the man accused of murdering Laken Riley while on campus at the University of Georgia in Athens in February, have filed to have evidence suppressed, witnesses barred from testifying and to have the trial moved to a new location.

The man accused of killing a nursing student whose body was found on the University of Georgia campus appeared in court Friday for a motions hearing ahead of his scheduled trial next month.

A motion to exclude DNA evidence and expert opinion in a hearing for the man accused of murdering Augusta University nursing student Laken Riley has been granted.

"Neither Defendant, nor the State, have been provided the underlying data concerning DNA testing in this case despite repeated requests by both."
