No, no questionshave there been no questions from the jury yet? Justice for Mollie
thanksNo, no questions
Isn't that the truth. It's one thing to be a bad, high school boyfriend and suffer a very personal tragedy under global view, and then come home to accusations of murder.My heart goes out to young Mr. Dalton. Through no fault of his own, he has been put through the wringer since Mollie's death.

By all accounts, DJ left his hometown, job, family, and friends -- all he's ever known -- within 90 days of Mollie being discovered murdered in a cornfield. He joined the USArmy in November 2018 and has earned the rank of Sargent. I think it would have been easy for his life to have downward spiraled and glad he's serving his country -- keeping us safe.
ETA: And DJ worked long hours too! His employer testified he worked 12.5 days in heavy, civil construction. I'd say Idaho residents are hard-working folks and CBR need not be exempt. He's not special.
In light of CBR testifying at his trial, I want to share something else I recall from the Evidence Suppression hearing.
His attorneys argued that his statements should be kept from a jury because his rights were violated -- and not necessarily limited to the defective Miranda Warning.
His attorneys attempted to submit an affidavit by CBR stating that he didn't understand his Miranda rights and was afraid to ask.
The Prosecutor argued against admitting CBR's affidavit because they did not have the opportunity to cross-examine the evidence. Instead of allowing CBR to testify about this, his attorney withdrew the affidavit.
This hearing took place Nov 2019. The defense would not allow CBR to testify back then. Hmm... I wonder if they had the Ninja story at that time?
Man accused of killing Mollie Tibbetts didn't testify during hearing
During the second day of an evidence suppression hearing, which started Wednesday, defense attorneys sought to submit an affidavit from Cristhian Bahena Rivera, 25, charged with first-degree murder, stating he didn't understand his Miranda rights and was 'scared” to ask.
But Eighth Judicial District Judge Joel Yates said he would accept it only if prosecutors had a chance to cross examine Bahena Rivera.
Jennifer Frese, one of Bahena Rivera's lawyers, said he wouldn't testify. She withdrew the affidavit, and it will not be considered by the judge in reaching a ruling.
And so, we wait.
For some reason, this trial has been super emotional for me...way more than any other.
It must be Mollie.
This evening I went out to water some plants and realized it was right about the time Mollie would have been fighting for her life. The sky was pretty but a little moody because we might get some rain later...like the evening Mollie went running. It was very beautiful and peaceful, but moody looking. She should be here now, but she is no longer.
So I went in my backyard and cried a little bit, wishing there had been something I could do for her even though I'm no where near where she was. And that's just it, there is nothing we can do for her, she is just gone. But her life can still do things in all of us...as I'm sure it does/will. I don't need to tell you all because you know, but that's how she can still be here, and how we can all best honor her.
That's something CBR cannot ruin.
I pray there is justice for her tomorrow.
Yes, seriously I don't think we (general we) have any idea what someone goes through that has a high profile crime happen to someone they know and love. People were messaging the family, commenting all over anything public on their social media accounts, news media were constantly asking questions and trying to get the scoop. People thought they could investigate better than the LE in the area following up on leads.. I get that we all get attached to some cases, but many take it way to far and it does hinder investigations. It is a shame he felt he needed to flea that town, but even with media and strangers not leaving them alone, he would still have to live there and drive the same roads she ran daily, see the places they went and remember every single thing.. I'd leave too.
Also, achieving the rank of E5 already means he is doing his job and doing it well. Oct 2018 till now is 2 1/2 years. Usually people start at E1 (with college credits or JROTC in high school you can enter as an E2-E4 depending on how much college and/or JROTC time someone has) and to get to E5 in 2 1/2 years means at the very least he was promoted every time he was able. There are rules for time in service and time in current rank before moving on to the next rank and E5 in 2 1/2 years is pretty darn good, but it's possible he had college credits that can help too. He is clearly doing something right though.
Re-listening to Gamboa's testimony -- she said they broke up in April 2017.I really think that the likeness between Mollie and CBR's ex GF is significant. I wonder what the date was that she broke up with him was...
Yes -- they want Mollie to be remembered for not how she died, but how she lived.Beautiful. Besides justice, I think that's probably all that her parents would ever want....that she just be remembered. <3

"They were in that room to see if anyone else was in that room, yet they did nothing to get DNA to exclude people," Frese says of testing can in Mollie's room at Jack home.

Defense is moving to DNA - They didnt test anyone's DNA except for CBR, Mollie and all the people are Yarrabee Farms.

The Frese duo is very slick. They complain that no one took DNA of DJ when they were getting Mollies DNA from her home.
Why would they need his DNA at that time? If they had found his DNA on her body or in the trunk, that would not mean much. They lived together and his DNA could have been anywhere on her or on her belongings.
And of course they took DNA from the Yarrabee Farm's workers. That is where they tracked the Malibu, which was seen on video stalking Molly when she went missing. So there was strong possibility one of the field hands was in that car.
Those comments by Frese were meant to make LE look racist and like they unfairly targeted Yarrabee workers.
