Judge H. Patrick Haggard condemned Jose Ibarra's actions, stating the decision was difficult, but necessary to honor the life lost and the impact on Riley's family. The judge reflected on how this case highlighted deep societal issues surrounding safety and justice.
Allyson Phillips, Laken's mother, expressed the profound impact of her daughter's death, saying, "There is no end to the pain, suffering and loss we have experienced and will continue to endure. This sick, twisted and evil coward showed no regard for Laken or human life."
Lauren Phillips shared her fears, stating, "I cannot walk around my own college campus because I'm terrified of people like Jose Ibarra. My sister was my favorite person and biggest role model, and now I must navigate life in a world without her."
