GUILTY IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 *Arrest* #50

RIP Mollie. You will never have a chance to graduate from college, your father will never walk you know the aisle on your wedding day, you will never be a mother. An extraordinary life was stolen from you. Although the verdict will not bring you back, I hope it gives your family, Dalton, all your loved one's some peace.

Well good result on this one, but still a sad day. Prayers for Mollie's family and friends because it doesn't bring her back, and even to CBR's family who will probably never see him free again.

Is it typical to go down the jury one by one like that and ask each juror after the verdict or does that have to be requested?

I was on one jury for a criminal trial and we did not do that.

They do it on big cases. I think the defense asks to poll the jury. It is so if anyone felt bullied in the deliberations it is their chance to speak up and change their mind.

Thank goodness we have that monster caged!

 

[Ragnarok]

So the masked men was his defense all along

Yes. I'm surprised although he had five weeks to come up with that story.

Was it strategic?

Listening to the presser right now and they are blaming (as did in trial etc) that they didn't show or transcribe the interview . Yet

#1) It was in spanish

#2) The defense fought TOOTH AND NAIL to keep it out due to improper Miranda.

....I do find interesting............

MOO

 

[Bravo]

I really expected killer to show some sort of emotion for himself. Perhaps his Lawyers had him well prepared he would likely be found Guilty

 

[ChiCubs2016]

I do not believe for one minute they did not practice CBR’s testimony. If the Frese’s expect people to believe that, they are delusional!!

Cristhian Bahena Rivera convicted of murdering Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts

An Iowa jury on Friday convicted farmhand Cristhian Bahena Rivera of first-degree murder in the 2018 killing of college student Mollie Tibbetts.

The panel in Davenport deliberated for seven hours over two days before coming back with the verdict against Rivera, the 24-year-old Mexican national who led investigators to Tibbetts' body in a Brooklyn, Iowa, corn field nearly one month after she went jogging on July 18 and vanished.


The first-degree murder conviction, which carries a maximum penalty of life behind bars, didn't surprise MSNBC legal analyst Cynthia Alksne, a former federal prosecutor.

I was on a murder trial and they did it after our verdict.

Mrs. Frese keeps using the word bizarre.

 

[Bravo]

I have lost a son. I wish Mollie’s parents a truly deep full breath for the first time since That Day.

I wish Mollie a sky full of hand-crafted stars just for her tonight, with the most amazing view.
I hope my son gives her flowers and takes her to a truly Heavenly dinner.

Those are my mother thoughts as Justice, to the extent that there ever really is any, is finally delivered.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Son

Mr. Frese is full of BS when he says CBR was not coached with regard to his story on the stand, because they wanted him to be authentic and say it in his own words. He didn't say it in his own words! Mrs. Frese said it all for him!

 

[Kakidoll]

at the presser the defense attorneys saying he had that story since 2018. Anyone believe them?

 

[Simply Southern]

I followed Molly from the beginning, hoping CB never sees daylight again.

This case was heart breaking.

No

Not I!

I'm so happy there is finally justice for Mollie Tibbets and her family.
It won't bring her back but I hope it helps to ease her family's pain in some way. During this trial they had to re-live so many awful things.
My prayers are with them.
Rest In Peace Mollie Tibbets.
