3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: a new trial for Jose Ibarra, asserting that the evidence

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: establishing his guilt was quote overwhelming and powerful. Ebar was

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: found guilty of numerous offenses, including malice murder, felony murder,

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: and aggravated assault with the intent to rape, all connected

Speaker 1: at the University of Georgia who was attacked while jogging.

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: A Bar's appeal included claims that his legal team did

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: not have sufficient time to examine the DNA evidence presented

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: against him. However, Judge h Patrick Haggard stated that Abar's

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: attorneys effectively represented him and demonstrated a clear understanding of

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: the evidence. The court observes that trial Council's questioning of

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: the experts indicated a solid grasp of the DNA and

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: a competent cross examination of the expert. Although trial council

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: argued that her case was quote ham by an inability

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: to present a defense expert, the court finds she successfully

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: highlighted weaknesses in the findings during her closing statement in

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: his ruling against the motion for a new trial, the

20
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: judge pointed out that Ibarra's appellate attorney did not call

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: his trial lawyer as a witness during the January hearing.

22
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: He noted, since Appellate Council chose not to involve Trial

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Council in the new trial motion hearing, this court will

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: assume that Trial Council's decisions were responsible and reasonable and

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,639
Speaker 1: a part of the strategic approach. Although Abarra's motion claimed

26
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: that his defense was hindered by the court's denial of

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: a continuance before the trial, the judge remarked that the

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: defense had ample time, as they received the initial DNA

00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: report in May twenty four but did not consult an

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: expert until October. Even after obtaining the raw DNA evidence,

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: the defense had over a month to prepare before the

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,800
