    After Nicholas Slatten's first conviction was vacated and a 2018 retrial ended in mistrial, a second retrial produced another first-degree-murder verdict; on August 14, 2019, Slatten—whom Trump later pardoned—was sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing Ahmed Haithem Ahmed Al Rubia'y at Nisur Square.
