Right. Like it or not, migrant workers (illegal or here on work visas) are a major part of the agricultural industry, and it benefits every single person in this country. Because of the back breaking they are willing to do for the meager wages they are paid, our meat, dairy, and produce is affordable. There is no need to dehumanize people who are willing to do jobs that most of us wouldn’t do.
The Daily Mail article (sorry, I don't have the link handy atm) shows a pic of her and their baby with the caption below stating she is the ex-girlfriend.I wish we knew for sure if that was her in the courtroom.
So many articulate and knowledgeable people on WS, it can be intimidating. But so worth the risk of occasionally seeming a bit off or goofy! I’m hooked.Great post, and I completely agree. We have to do what we can to minimize violence, but we also must realize that we will never be completely successful. It’s a sad reality, but not one that we should accept sitting down
I agree. I would wonder how I got the earbuds on my lap, but murdering someone wouldn't even come up in the possibilities. It would be easier to think that someone lent them to me and I was so drunk I didn't remember. I've never blacked out, though. I saw the court video earlier today and he just looked cold. Maybe he always puts the bodies in the trunk.This may have already been mentioned...so please forgive....but if CR was in some black out fugue state and he comes to while in his car, notices ear bud (s) in his lap....why would he then suddenly believe she’s in his trunk?
Just not the first thought I would expect after a black out....it makes me question his story.
Good point. They may be able to make sense of the whole scenario. Just that information could confirm how the entire thing was played out, up to a point.Wonder if LE has any fitbit data that correlates with CR's story about conversing with her, etc. That would make my heart rate spike.
Also, IMO-CR frequented the area of 385th Avenue where it was mentioned he kidnapped her from using that car. He saw Mollie during the times he was there. He also may have been observed there in the days after Mollie was kidnapped, but didn't know who he was only what he was doing in the area.Just a tidbit:
According to Fox News, the Chevy Malibu that the suspect was driving, was not registered to him. The surveillance footage was unable to pick up a license plate, but the car had some unusual markings that made it identifiable.
Or, the child being there will actually hurt his case. Get people thinking - What? A father of a daughter could do such a thing?It's not in the child's interest to be there, it's in CR's interest. His atty is going to paint CR as a family man, sit his daughter and ex-girlfriend in the courtroom so people can see them together, show him as a family man with a good heart. And they'll paint Mollie as a nasty person who triggered him, he was just running with her, flirting and Mollie got all uppity. Prepare yourself, it's going to be a heartbreaking ride.
This was wild to see and read - a major University which depends on other universities' work for the top industry of their state! WOW.
I have no doubt that his attorney will pull any card he can, but Mollie is too sympathetic a victim and is too well-'known' and beloved now to the public for that to fly. I think he would be completely stupid to turn this on her. I can however envision a claim that there was an exchange on the road and the language barrier caused him to misinterpret. But the state will then trot out witnesses who can testify to his command of English, so that won't work either. I think this attorney is on shaky ground by inserting identity politics or any politics, or by making him too much of a victim who was confused about things, or by pointing at Mollie. People are not up for that and it will backfire. JMOI hope not. I hope people remember what happened and it really is important that Mollie's friends and family pack those hearings.
Billion dollar suit was 15 years ago - probably tossed!! I think Mr. Richards is a big bag of wind, and wonder how long before CR drops him for a public defender....Wow ! Thank you for posting this. Opinion - Rivera and Mr. Richards are both interesting people.
Share your views and insights freely, the worst that can happen is people disagree with you.So many articulate and knowledgeable people on WS, it can be intimidating. But so worth the risk of occasionally seeming a bit off or goofy! I’m hooked.
I don't see the humor - what does this even mean?
If that's true, I can just imagine the story he told them. I really hope they didn't. That would be horrible. Wouldn't they be held accountable if they find out that is the case?None of them had the Mollie missing poster or any reference to her on their FB pages either. I'm going to guess they knew. I think he told them early on. JMO
Someone said all his communication was in Spanish.So he can text very well in ENGLISH but he needs TWO translators in court. Oh yea. There’s more to this guy we don’t know.
I doubt it was his first time. With DNA, he may be associated with other crimes.Who thinks this was his first "gig". One doesn't just wake up one day and commit such a violent crime.
And hiring someone legal doesn't mean you are going to get a law abiding citizen. James DeAngelo (EAR/ONS) was a citizen, Dennis Rader (BTK) was a citizen, Ted Bundy was a citizen, etc
