Court grants second trial delay for the murder suspect of Mollie Tibbetts
[...]
The trial is now set for 9 a.m. on Feb. 4, 2020.
Chad and Jennifer Frese, attorneys of Cristhian Bahena Rivera, filed an application Wednesday to continue the Nov. 12 trial to a later date, citing forensic evidence released earlier this month by the State of Iowa Criminalistics Laboratory as the reason for the desired delay.
"The results of this forensic testing are critical to the defense of Mr. Bahena Rivera," the Freses wrote in the motion, adding that they need additional time to gather and prepare expert witnesses.

OK, here we go.
Defense is going to want to retest, and use their own witnesses to support their own conclusions.
What's most disappointing to me is this couple representing CR. I'm sure some will argue that they are doing their job but it almost seems to me that they are taking advantage of the defendant. I think he agrees to anything they propose to him.
It's just sleazy how bad they wanted to represent him.
MOO
