He’s crying over the photo of his daughter.
How about crying over killing someone elses daughter.

MOO

Cry, he couldn't look away from the body of Molly

Whoa the race card. Again

I hear you

 

[geevee]

A 2 hour lunch?

 

[JudgeJoe]

CB’s baby mom broke up with him April 2017. About 1 year & 2-3 months before he killed Mollie.

Baby mom never saw CB “black out”.

Lunch break…

Lunch

Sounds like he was ignoring their calls.

I agree because he certainly had his phone and was using it as seen in the police video of CBR at the station.

Video embed with the Tweet linked below is CBR playing with his phone. I'd say he's right-handed.

Give me a break.
This defense lawyer is horrible.
I’d respect her more if she went with some demonic being took over his stabbing hand.

MOO

I think he “blacked out” because he didn’t want to admit to the horrible details of what he actually did to her.

I never believed he blacked out at all. Now we know it may have been the investigators who gave him that idea. He probably gave a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't remember," answers while they were questioning him.

I think they are doing well with what they were handed.

He probably doesn't empathize with other people's emotions. He only cares about himself. Imo

Seeing that photo of CB with the mother and child makes me so sad. That little girl is yet another victim of this terrible crime. She will now grow up without a father in her life. And not only that, but knowing that her father is serving life in prison for murdering an innocent young woman. When she is a little older or a teen or in her 20s people may ask, "what happened to your father?" And what will she say? I have no doubt CB loves his daughter. But look at what he has done to her, to the rest of her life. Maybe people should think about those things before they act.

 

[Seattle1]

So why is the defense bringing up Uli Felix, again? Another TOD (the other dude) to blame?

Felix was a student that Laura Calderwood took in to her home in 2018 (at the request of Scott Tibbets, Mollie's brother) so he could complete his senior year.

Sidebar prevented the defense from completing this question...

 

[GoBuckeyes]

YES- I’ve been waiting for Ms Freese to imply DJ stole the Malibu that night- and CB accidentally left his cell pinging in the car. Or that a mystery person mailed CB a map he was instructed to follow if LE contacts him. I mean… there’s reasonable doubt and then there’s ridiculous. I know they have little to work with- but seriously- that’s as cohesive as they can bring it? I don’t think they’re going down in the high-profile attorney hall of fame. Moo

High-profile attorney hall of fame!

I agree she is a victim. BTK and his daughter were very close also.
I don't think these people stop to think about what they are doing because they can't.

I think his baby's mother has a relationship with someone else. Hopefully he will be a better father to the daughter. She may already have a bond with him. I doubt she even remembers her biological father. Imo

To the defense -- Poweshiek County is farm country USA where all farmers work long hours. Many of the residents put in those kind of hours each and every day. There's nothing special about CBR doing his job -- get over it already.

 

[californiagem]

What would you ask them? Just curious.

What they thought about CBR, was there fighting. I don't think any parents look too kindly towards someone who impregnated their daughter without the benefit of marriage and at such a young age.
They did take him in after, but I suspect they thought it was in the best interest of their daughter and baby.
