The bench trial for the man accused of killing a nursing student on UGA's campus resumes Monday. Jose Ibarra faces multiple charges including malice murder in connection to the death of 22-year-old Laken Riley.

Criminal defense attorney Vikas Bajaj joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss why he believes it's unlikely that suspected killer, Jose Ibarra. will face the death penalty and the latest on Daniel Penny's manslaughter trial in New York City.
