LAKEN RILEY UPDATE: Athens DA faces new effort to oust her from office. “The criticism is not new for Gonzalez, who has for years faced questions over her handling of high-profile charges, her decision not to prosecute certain low-level offenses and her approach to immigration cases. And when Gov. Brian Kemp pushed for a new state commission to punish ‘rogue’ prosecutors, it was Gonzalez he invoked as an example of a district attorney in need of reprimand. A revamped version of that law is now waiting for Kemp’s signature. Gonzalez is responsible for bringing justice to the killer of Laken Riley, the nursing student slain on the University of Georgia’s campus. Jose Antonio Ibarra, who authorities say entered the country illegally in 2022, is charged with her killing.”
