I would had answer is not your business to know my personal affairs, would you like me to ask you about if you look at nudes on your pc? no cause is your personal life them yes , that is how I feel.
In most cases the boyfriend is always the 1st person they go after but if someone has already plead guilty and they have evidence against them I can't see the reason to question the boyfriend and yes he was calm because he knew he didn't commit the crime
I'm sure they 'coached' him to not get overly upset or ruffled, as warranted it as it may be, as that is exactly what they would be attempting to do to paint him in a bad light.
I get that it's a defense attorney's job to defend his client, but when you purposely try to destroy an innocent person's life in the name of defending your client, you are vile!
how do you even know if the boyfriend was innocent in the first place? if you think about it, there are also cases wherein PARTNERS pay other dudes to take the fall esp when they take advantage of language barrier. And plus, as a defens attorney, it's their job to defend their clinet regardless.
What a savage monster to not only murder this beautiful woman, but to actually blame an innocent man for it! He deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison
Indeed! For what crime do you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison? (Just asking for a friend. You see, you're already there, whether you know it or not.)
I live in Iowa city, and when this case first surfaced, seeing posters posted on small business thru out the city - it instantly broke my heart, I didn’t know Molly, but felt as if I did. I’m not sure if it’s due to being so close at home, but my heart has never felt so shattered over a missing persons case before. All love to her friends & family..
I live in Davenport, but at the time I lived just across the river, and this case was big news here as well seeing as we are roughly an hour or so from Iowa City. I remember the community bring well pleased at this verdict.
I hate when defense lawyers try and blame a innocent boyfriend who has been cleared of the murder and the guy who did it confessed. The closing argument by the defense was laughable.
Molly's boyfriend is in the 10 percent of guys who get blamed for killing their girl when they had nothing to do with it. 90 percent of the time, it's the girl's (ex)boyfriend or (ex)husband who did it, such as O.J. Wimp Son.
...but before he was cleared, did you eviscerate him and assume he was guilty? That's what most people do.... attack the man closest to the victim and decide it was him.
@@broeheemed32D.N.A. cleared Molly's boyfriend, but it pointed the finger at O.J. Wimp Son. Nobody ever proved the old goat slit his ex-wife's throat; the chances he did it are at 99.9999999 out of 100.

When you work hard and mind your own business but still get sucked into negative bs at every turn, you become numb to it. I think his demeanour suggests his story was true at least to a high degree.
It is common for psychopaths/sociopaths to be very calm and appear like a normal person even after multiple vicious murders. Just like Ted Bundy or Dr. Michael Swango. I knew a doctor who knew Swango, and he said Swango was a total polite likeable extrovert, a life of the party kind of guy. Which helped him kill his wife and dozens of patients.
It really was unbelievable the story he gave on the stand. He took detectives straight to the body! I felt so bad for her boyfriend. He wasn't even in the same city when this guy murdered her. It was lucky that his car was picked up on video and was able to be recognized bc of him adding something to it that made it stand out.

Men are not built the same as women. A 15 year old boy overpowered a 30 year old women in a jujitsu bout. The defense is ridiculous to make that claim.
the bf had a rock solid alibi what were they thinking? if i were him i would have just been like, "why are you asking about my temper if you know it's physically impossible that i did this?"
Yeah why would police help cover for an illegal farm hand where he was paid under the table using a pseudonym? Iowa would probably go bankrupt if they had to get rid of all their cheap, illegal help that comes from across the border.
Nah It looks to me like they were doing their due diligence. If you have a suspect, they have to be eliminated, so if you don't go through every process to eliminate them, you're not doing your job.
As a former chief psychologist of a state prison system, I found it very common that psychopathic murderers claim to forget or blackout when it came to discussing details of those they killed. Some claimed temporary insanity, various rationalizations.
Your career is very interesting!! Thank you for all the hard work that you do. I have always been interested in psychiatry and the many specialties within the field .
As someone who has lived in Iowa the past 10 years, something like this happening is almost unheard of. Everyone here is so nice and minds their own business. I remember hearing this on the news like it was yesterday and is still heartbreaking.
That's the point, but if you notice most of the people who watch these videos are women, they're obsessed with it, they watch every video. They live in fear of this kind of thing happening to themselves, and they think by constantly obsessing over it, they're accomplishing something.
I ran cross country in the 80s at Cornell College, just a couple of counties over. Ran hundreds of miles out by myself, never gave it a seconds thought.
This case is insane. I remember seeing her missing posters up at highway reststops as I was doing a road trip with my boyfriend to the Colorado Sand Dunes… when we got there, we saw Chris Watts and his mistress and didn’t learn about either of the two cases until we got back home to MN. It was INSANE
I can’t believe how scummy attorneys are… they’ve got a guy who takes you to a dead body in the middle of a corn field buried under debris, but the defense blames an innocent grieving boyfriend? Scums!!
I hate when people have to try to prove this guy is innocent, yet he told them and he showed them the body and he had her blood in his car, it sickens me that anybody would defend someone like this.
An impartial jury, hearing all the evidence, is the only thing that stands between you and a police state that abuses you. Be glad you live in a democracy with a properly functioning criminal-justice system.
The system is rotten. It should be like this: if constitutional rights were violated, the violator gets prosecuted, and punished, but the evidence uncovered remains admissible.
This defense attorney is horrible! The❤ attorney is the same one who did such a horrible job of attempting to defend Henry Dinkins (the man that kidnapped and killed his 12 year old step daughter). He doesnt actually offer any defense; just attempts to make his guilty client look a little better by attempting to throw someone else under the bus. He is the worst !
I knew that was him as soon as I heard his voice! I wasn't even looking ar my phone and when I heard him I turned my head so quickly! 😂 This guy is a joke! I get it's his job but come on now! Do he even have a conscience! I hated him in the HD trial! This is old and I hate him even more. How do he sleep at night!
True 😮 it takes a certain type of person to be a criminal defense attorney.. but THIS is our justice system. I don't know how they go home at night to their spouses and children knowing deep down their clients savagely murdered someone 😮
This was so close to my town she was known here, it was crazy when we found out what happened so sad, her parents are the sweetest still sending prayers to them ❤
Someone make sense of this. If you get questioned by the cops about a murder you didn't commit then why wouldn't you tell them the same story when they asked him what happened? If 2 other guys forced him then why not just tell them that from the jump?
Wow! For some reason I’ve been thinking about Mollie Tibit (sp?) the last month or so & even searched about what happened to the killer. I think that this was the first crime I followed. Thanks for doing this. 🙏 for Mollie, friends & family.
Much credit to the detectives. Pamela, playing good cop, got him to fess up, and show them the body. Legally he had no business being in this country..
I don't understand why the fact that the monster that killed her SHOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN BEEN HERE isn't on the news 24/7 - there is a way to prevent many of these crimes and it doesn't even inhibit any AMERICANS/US CItizeins. Why are we NOT doing more to protect the people of our country?
He brought them to the body……what else needs to be said?!?!?! I get being a defense attorney is their job but idk how they live with themselves trying to set criminals and killers free
The easiest guilty verdict in the history of ever. Her blood is in his truck. The end. That nonsense about 2 random guys coming out of no where is a fib a 5 year old wouldn't come up with
We were close to where this happened, at a big event in the summer that year. It was extremely terrifying when people passed out flyers of her missing.
Why That's exactly why you see all these women. Watching videos like this religiously, they like to be scared. The odds of any of this thing happening to any of them is 0.
Defense attorneys of obviously guilty criminals will always blow my mind. They sat there and grilled the bf knowing he had nothing to do with it but it's the only defense they had so they straight faced and went for it right to his face.
And to the boyfriend they tried to frame...He was a victim TWICE here. His beloved was murdered and he was painted and pretty much semi framed for her murder until they found a better person...That was sick.
@@kassierobinson636when you are super beautiful in this country sadly it makes you a target!! I’m sorry to hear that you can’t do what you love anymore but it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you still want to safely run always run with a male you trust and always give your family and friends play by plays and your location when you do or go to the gym. Sorry you have to compromise but this world is crazy.
Her brother was in my class at iowa central. Before her murder, he told me his sister would like the earrings i was wearing. This happened soon after that and i was floored
His lawyers didn't care about him. Johnny Cochran could have put that kid in a place where he would be released after a "good" diagnosis. His lawyers said things that science would truthfully contradict. Well, now that there's no possibility of parole, I have to give the devil his due; his lawyers did the right thing.
@@TheRainbowGalIf his lawyers were hired to get him off, then I'm glad they didn't do their job, even if they are only in it for the money. No person needs killing.
No, the defense lawyers did a good job. They have to make sure there was not a collaboration between the boyfriend and the abductor. A very necessary part of the justice system. His perfect alibi of being out of town had to be investigated.
@@TheRainbowGal Yes, you do know. When you argue with your boyfriend and you know you're in the wrong but you keep on being stubborn and nit picking over nothing, you're basically doing the same as the defense lawyer.
Couldn’t this monster also be charged with perjury for his fabricated story while on the witness stand? 🤔 Also, those criminal defense lawyers are scumbags for creating a false narrative and blaming their client’s heinous and ruthless murder of Mollie on her grieving ex.
You should watch the Henrey Dekins case. He did the same thing trying to point tge finger at family members of the little girl named Breasia. That defense lawyer is sick! But I guess that's what they get paid to do, lie!
@@nicoleb7090, you're unbelievable this case was near pinning something an illegal did on the victims boyfriend or fiance. that's massively unjust. and you think that's not out of their job description...
Lawyers don't choose their clients, especially when they are court appointed. They have to do their best even when they know the client is guilty. They're not even necessarily really trying to win. But they have to at least appear to be trying. I'd say that they did a fair job of giving that appearance. And the result was more or less guaranteed.
The town where Molly went missing Is rlly close to where I live I remember missing posters in lots of windows It was a pretty small town you definitely don’t think that would happen in a small town I feel so bad for her family to she was pretty young she definitely deserved to live
How does that defense attorney have any friends or people who love him? What a piece of shh. The boyfriend was hours away, working in the company of several people, staying in a hotel with cameras and you have to smear his reputation, accusing him of being some cheater who is physically violent? This guy should not be a lawyer!!!
@@MasterMix291He was juste a teenager, not a 35 yo father and husband. And this has nothing to do with the case since he was far away working when she vanished.
falling asleep in the interview room is really common in guilty suspects. all the worry about being discovered caught etc subsides and for the first time since the crime they have some relief from the stress. the defence should not have opened that door.
Nobody bought his masked men story. He's very obviously guilty. False confessions don't lead to bodies. Especially in rural Iowa. There's millions of acres of fields, wood lots, back roads ect. She wouldn't have been found until harvest at best. Either some farmer would find her in his field while he's harvesting or hunters might find her in the fall. Otherwise she's not going to be found unless the killer brings you there.
she meant it in the context of the killer''s confession..if she did say she understood a "'false confession'' that will lead to other questions since the defense case was very weak, they were looking for loop holes to exploit..she is a detective and she knew what a leading question was..so calm down
the woman defense lawyer has had her license suspended by the Iowa Supreme court because the believe she currently is not mentally fit to practice law in the state of iowa
The defense should have focused more on reducing his sentence instead of attacking the innocent boyfriend. That has 100% admission and taken to the body.
Even though I’m unsure whether Mollie spoke Spanish, he definitely didn’t assume she did which leads me to believe when he abducted her he spoke in English, perhaps not perfect but I’ve no doubt he tried to speak English during the time he had her 💔 I can’t stand for Anyone to hide behind their “lack of” speaking whatever is the language where they decide to be, literally using the excuse of “No Habla, English” 🤦🏼♀️ He knew Enough of the English language to be able to converse with Mollie, he wanted to abduct, SA & murder her & if he thought he couldn’t speak some English to her, his plan would’ve failed!!! I’m a Texan & bilingual but no one would just assume that, especially someone with a diabolical plan as he had. Rest In Peace Mollie 🙏🏼
Speaking broken English (or any language that isn't your native language) to someone in a casual setting is completely different than trying to speak broken English in a setting where every word you say is held under scrutiny. I know hundreds of words in Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese, and I could probably scribble some sentences together if I was speaking to someone who spoke those languages, but put me in an interrogating room in any country where those are the official languages, and you bet I'm asking for an English translator and speaking direct English.
He would have to know some. Just from being around locals, that are his bosses at work. Then there's the fact that most Iowans don't speak Spanish so he would need to know basic English to be able to do any shopping or dining. Point being he would need to know basic English to get by. I doubt he would know enough to be able to communicate during an interrogation though.
I completely understand that all of the evidence incriminated him as guilty. But if you look closely at the case, how did Rivera actually grab her so quickly, stab her and put her in the trunk, if she was running to begin with. It would have taken more time than a few seconds. I think it was planned by her boyfriend
I remember when she went missing. My in laws live right outside of Brooklyn Iowa and the whole community came together. Just not common for something like this to happen in small town Iowa.
Half of these crime documents say “people in this small town leave their doors unlocked.” By golly it doesn’t matter how big or small your town is people, evil is everywhere, lock your daggum doors!
That scumbag's story makes zero sense. 2 random men just picked him up then disappeared. Then he suddenly agreed to the prosecutors statements? Wild. This monster can't keep his story straight.
My first trip to Iowa is when this happened. It was all over the news. Very devastating. I've since moved here.... you should cover the murder of 10 yr old Breasia Terrell by Henry Dinkins.
@@roydahmerjr well obviously all murders are senseless. But he didn’t know her. She didn’t know him. Usually a crime has an underlying reason. Doesn’t make it right but usually their is a motive or connection to the victim. There was none here.
To me his female lawyer was eyeing him the way a mom does when she’s trying to get “a story” outta a child not the truth but “a version of it”. She was def setting the scene for him n handed him the lies to spit back out. Truly disgusting 🤮😤
Hi, there, I thought his lawyers did the right thing. That jerk has to spend a lifetime in a cage because he killed a person. Johnny Cochran was the kind of dude who would get slimeballs off after they killed a person, but Bahena Rivera's lawyers are not like that.
21:42 why does he have any rights? Why don’t they treat him as a military invader as a soldier because he invaded this nation and killed one of your citizens? Why does he get any rights? His lawyers should be arrested also for defending this guy
Defense attorneys are a absolute joke. The illegal immigrant brought them to her body in the middle of a cornfield at 5:30 in the morning, has blood in the car and her dna and video of his car in the area and they still try to blame someone who is completely innocent.
they have to do that. The conviction could be reversed in an appeals court if the defendant were found to have had a weak defense attorney that didnt try as hard as he could to defend the criminal
Saw this whole trial live on Law & Crime and was speechless about this vicious liar who killed her! My deepest condolences to Mollies Family from Germany.She was a beautiful young woman and she will never forgotten ❤
Shame on that defense team. That poor kid had to sit infront of that loser who got to sit there not being bothered while he was drug through the mud. Shame on them!
I live in Iowa. I remember this case like it was yesterday. Its sad that he wasn't legally in this country. And he brutally murdered and SA Mollie and dumped her body in the corn field like she was trash. I remember going to the Iowa state fair seeing the posters of her. May he rot in prison for the rest of his life. RIP Mollie Tibbetts 😢💔🙏💛🖤
Notice that his lawyer in closing statements says “we can’t prove within reasonable doubt that he did it,” and doesn’t say he is innocent. Because he knows his defendant is guilty!
As I am stuck in a Law and Crime Binge Deep Dive, I always think the same thing: some people are MONSTERS & some people are unforunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.... 😢😭
I find it ridiculous that in our country, a defense attorney, knowing that all of the evidence is against their client, is legally allowed to drag an innocent person through the mud in an attempt to create doubt. Their job should not be to get a guilty person off the hook, it should be to represent them for their best possible outcome. Reasonable doubt should be created within reason.

Men are not built the same as women. A 15 year old boy overpowered a 30 year old women in a jujitsu bout. The defense is ridiculous to make that claim.
They actually tried to frame an innocent man! What vile creatures are these?!

Yea and the defense closing argument said “ not to use emotion to make judgement. “ yet they use family pics
Because our justice system likes to coddle criminals and it makes me sick!
Tbh I feel like it makes their case look even weaker and works against them. Shows they have nothing to work with in regards to the case itself.

With all that evidence against the Defendant they wanna try and pin it on her bf! That's disgusting!
the bf had a rock solid alibi what were they thinking? if i were him i would have just been like, "why are you asking about my temper if you know it's physically impossible that i did this?"
Yeah why would police help cover for an illegal farm hand where he was paid under the table using a pseudonym? Iowa would probably go bankrupt if they had to get rid of all their cheap, illegal help that comes from across the border.
Nah It looks to me like they were doing their due diligence. If you have a suspect, they have to be eliminated, so if you don't go through every process to eliminate them, you're not doing your job.

As a former chief psychologist of a state prison system, I found it very common that psychopathic murderers claim to forget or blackout when it came to discussing details of those they killed. Some claimed temporary insanity, various rationalizations.
Your career is very interesting!! Thank you for all the hard work that you do. I have always been interested in psychiatry and the many specialties within the field .
how disgusting that they tried to frame the boyfriend.
These defense lawyers have absolutely no conscience.
As someone who has lived in Iowa the past 10 years, something like this happening is almost unheard of. Everyone here is so nice and minds their own business. I remember hearing this on the news like it was yesterday and is still heartbreaking.
Ive lived here for 50 years. Born and raised and you would be surprised….
That's the point, but if you notice most of the people who watch these videos are women, they're obsessed with it, they watch every video. They live in fear of this kind of thing happening to themselves, and they think by constantly obsessing over it, they're accomplishing something.
@@bradrobertson4609Not surprised at all, they're right.
I ran cross country in the 80s at Cornell College, just a couple of counties over. Ran hundreds of miles out by myself, never gave it a seconds thought.
Because the guy who did it is not Iowan, he's an illegal alien. Thank your local Democrat.
These defense attorneys are the scum of the earth for putting the boyfriend through that when the killer was sitting right there.
Exactly, why is the judge even allowing this? The murderer showed them where the body was, case closed. Disgusting DAs.
This case is insane. I remember seeing her missing posters up at highway reststops as I was doing a road trip with my boyfriend to the Colorado Sand Dunes… when we got there, we saw Chris Watts and his mistress and didn’t learn about either of the two cases until we got back home to MN.

This is absolutely heartbreaking,
My deepest condolences to the family and friends involved.🙏
Rip, her souls.
His eyes… I can’t imagine the terror she felt. And for what? A selfish desire that had nothing to do with her, and all to do with him. Sick
I hate when people have to try to prove this guy is innocent, yet he told them and he showed them the body and he had her blood in his car, it sickens me that anybody would defend someone like this.
💯💯💯💯💯 Thanku! This is ABSOLUTELY insane, He showed them where the body was!! What more do they need!
An impartial jury, hearing all the evidence, is the only thing that stands between you and a police state that abuses you. Be glad you live in a democracy with a properly functioning criminal-justice system.
The system is rotten. It should be like this: if constitutional rights were violated, the violator gets prosecuted, and punished, but the evidence uncovered remains admissible.
I used to live in this town. Completely unbelievable this happened to that poor family.
every woman should have a ccw for this reason
Democrat open borders caused her death!

This defense attorney is horrible! The❤ attorney is the same one who did such a horrible job of attempting to defend Henry Dinkins (the man that kidnapped and killed his 12 year old step daughter). He doesnt actually offer any defense; just attempts to make his guilty client look a little better by attempting to throw someone else under the bus. He is the worst !
It's a shame attorneys don't care if they know their clients are guilty...paid liars
There has to be lawyers on both sides. It’s a dirty job defending guilty people but someone has to do it.
I knew that was him as soon as I heard his voice! I wasn't even looking ar my phone and when I heard him I turned my head so quickly! 😂 This guy is a joke! I get it's his job but come on now! Do he even have a conscience! I hated him in the HD trial! This is old and I hate him even more. How do he sleep at night!

Someone make sense of this. If you get questioned by the cops about a murder you didn't commit then why wouldn't you tell them the same story when they asked him what happened? If 2 other guys forced him then why not just tell them that from the jump?
👏👏👏
Because it never happened. He was coached by his Attorney, and the Attorney's press comments after the trial said it all!
Because he or his lawyers had to concoct a narrative/story to fit the blood evidence in his car.
Not to mention, why wouldn't they ask the boyfriend if he was there with him? It makes no sense
They made him say it it’s money family think

Much credit to the detectives. Pamela, playing good cop, got him to fess up, and show them the body. Legally he had no business being in this country..
I don't understand why the fact that the monster that killed her SHOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN BEEN HERE isn't on the news 24/7 - there is a way to prevent many of these crimes and it doesn't even inhibit any AMERICANS/US CItizeins. Why are we NOT doing more to protect the people of our country?
He brought them to the body……what else needs to be said?!?!?! I get being a defense attorney is their job but idk how they live with themselves trying to set criminals and killers free
The easiest guilty verdict in the history of ever. Her blood is in his truck. The end. That nonsense about 2 random guys coming out of no where is a fib a 5 year old wouldn't come up with

Defense attorneys of obviously guilty criminals will always blow my mind. They sat there and grilled the bf knowing he had nothing to do with it but it's the only defense they had so they straight faced and went for it right to his face.

Defense lawyers are just some soulless people. Blaming and pressing the boyfriend was a disgusting move.
His lawyers didn't care about him. Johnny Cochran could have put that kid in a place where he would be released after a "good" diagnosis. His lawyers said things that science would truthfully contradict. Well, now that there's no possibility of parole, I have to give the devil his due; his lawyers did the right thing.

@@TheRainbowGalIf his lawyers were hired to get him off, then I'm glad they didn't do their job, even if they are only in it for the money. No person needs killing.
No, the defense lawyers did a good job. They have to make sure there was not a collaboration between the boyfriend and the abductor. A very necessary part of the justice system. His perfect alibi of being out of town had to be investigated.
@@TheRainbowGal Yes, you do know. When you argue with your boyfriend and you know you're in the wrong but you keep on being stubborn and nit picking over nothing, you're basically doing the same as the defense lawyer.
Couldn’t this monster also be charged with perjury for his fabricated story while on the witness stand? 🤔 Also, those criminal defense lawyers are scumbags for creating a false narrative and blaming their client’s heinous and ruthless murder of Mollie on her grieving ex.
Wholeheartedly agree. They’re scum! And yes If our justice system was worth a darn he should be.
You should watch the Henrey Dekins case. He did the same thing trying to point tge finger at family members of the little girl named Breasia. That defense lawyer is sick! But I guess that's what they get paid to do, lie!
He's been convicted of the worst crime and he will spend the rest of his natural life in prison. The purgury was obvious...

Lawyers don't choose their clients, especially when they are court appointed. They have to do their best even when they know the client is guilty. They're not even necessarily really trying to win. But they have to at least appear to be trying. I'd say that they did a fair job of giving that appearance. And the result was more or less guaranteed.
Poor Molly😭. I’m so sorry for her family that’s so heartbreaking💔
Be careful if you dressin like that in public alone stay wit ya city girl friends make sure they got a couple blades on em!!

It was a pretty small town you definitely don’t think that would happen in a small town

The cross examination of Dalton, Molly's boyfriend was OUTRAGEOUS!
How does that defense attorney have any friends or people who love him? What a piece of shh. The boyfriend was hours away, working in the company of several people, staying in a hotel with cameras and you have to smear his reputation, accusing him of being some cheater who is physically violent? This guy should not be a lawyer!!!
Their attempt to create reasonable doubt backfired big time.
lets not pretend the bf was a saint. he did cheat on molly, which is super scummy.
@@MasterMix291He was juste a teenager, not a 35 yo father and husband. And this has nothing to do with the case since he was far away working when she vanished.
This case made me furious then… as it does now watching it all over again. 😡
falling asleep in the interview room is really common in guilty suspects. all the worry about being discovered caught etc subsides and for the first time since the crime they have some relief from the stress. the defence should not have opened that door.
Proof or just your opinion?
The boyfriend didn't deserve the cross examination when clearly he wasn't involved
Nobody bought his masked men story. He's very obviously guilty. False confessions don't lead to bodies. Especially in rural Iowa. There's millions of acres of fields, wood lots, back roads ect. She wouldn't have been found until harvest at best. Either some farmer would find her in his field while he's harvesting or hunters might find her in the fall. Otherwise she's not going to be found unless the killer brings you there.
that defense attorney is insane hes just grilling the guy whos girlfriend got killed and how does that cop have no idea what a false confession is?
she meant it in the context of the killer''s confession..if she did say she understood a "'false confession'' that will lead to other questions since the defense case was very weak, they were looking for loop holes to exploit..she is a detective and she knew what a leading question was..so calm down
So he can’t speak English but understood every word Mollie said to him that day….that’s just weird!!!!
He moved in on her when she was trying to call 911. No language of any sort needed to do violence.
This case stuck with me for some reason…I couldn’t stop thinking about it
the woman defense lawyer has had her license suspended by the Iowa Supreme court because the believe she currently is not mentally fit to practice law in the state of iowa
The defense should have focused more on reducing his sentence instead of attacking the innocent boyfriend. That has 100% admission and taken to the body.
No, because if they had done that he might have a lighter sentence. They did exactly what was needed to make sure he never gets free.
Even though I’m unsure whether Mollie spoke Spanish, he definitely didn’t assume she did which leads me to believe when he abducted her he spoke in English, perhaps not perfect but I’ve no doubt he tried to speak English during the time he had her 💔 I can’t stand for Anyone to hide behind their “lack of” speaking whatever is the language where they decide to be, literally using the excuse of “No Habla, English” 🤦🏼♀️ He knew Enough of the English language to be able to converse with Mollie, he wanted to abduct, SA & murder her & if he thought he couldn’t speak some English to her, his plan would’ve failed!!! I’m a Texan & bilingual but no one would just assume that, especially someone with a diabolical plan as he had.
Rest In Peace Mollie 🙏🏼
You make an excellent point!
You're projecting He probably drove up Pull the gun on her and never said anything But I guarantee she probably spoke Spanish herself.
@@Lexx815Don't encourage the m*** mafia.
Speaking broken English (or any language that isn't your native language) to someone in a casual setting is completely different than trying to speak broken English in a setting where every word you say is held under scrutiny. I know hundreds of words in Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese, and I could probably scribble some sentences together if I was speaking to someone who spoke those languages, but put me in an interrogating room in any country where those are the official languages, and you bet I'm asking for an English translator and speaking direct English.
He would have to know some. Just from being around locals, that are his bosses at work. Then there's the fact that most Iowans don't speak Spanish so he would need to know basic English to be able to do any shopping or dining. Point being he would need to know basic English to get by.
I doubt he would know enough to be able to communicate during an interrogation though.
I completely understand that all of the evidence incriminated him as guilty. But if you look closely at the case, how did Rivera actually grab her so quickly, stab her and put her in the trunk, if she was running to begin with. It would have taken more time than a few seconds. I think it was planned by her boyfriend
The defence attorney closing statement was painful to hear. How does one put on a suit and stand in front of jury with that nonsense?
They should have audio on all interviews for protection of the person being interviewed and for confessions
I remember when she went missing. My in laws live right outside of Brooklyn Iowa and the whole community came together. Just not common for something like this to happen in small town Iowa.
I love how his defense brought up his height an weight as if young children haven’t ever murdered anyone in history 💀
Half of these crime documents say “people in this small town leave their doors unlocked.” By golly it doesn’t matter how big or small your town is people, evil is everywhere, lock your daggum doors!
Exactly. Crime is everywhere. Small towns are not exempt.
That scumbag's story makes zero sense. 2 random men just picked him up then disappeared. Then he suddenly agreed to the prosecutors statements? Wild. This monster can't keep his story straight.
That defense was absolutely ludacris and his lawyers should be ashamed of themselves.
Basically these lawyers helped him make a false story!!!!! Disgusting
My first trip to Iowa is when this happened. It was all over the news. Very devastating. I've since moved here.... you should cover the murder of 10 yr old Breasia Terrell by Henry Dinkins.
Why did you take a trip to Iowa? We must know!

Prime example of a crooked group of Defense attorney's.
Notice that his lawyer in closing statements says “we can’t prove within reasonable doubt that he did it,” and doesn’t say he is innocent. Because he knows his defendant is guilty!

As I am stuck in a Law and Crime Binge Deep Dive, I always think the same thing: some people are MONSTERS & some people are unforunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.... 😢😭
I find it ridiculous that in our country, a defense attorney, knowing that all of the evidence is against their client, is legally allowed to drag an innocent person through the mud in an attempt to create doubt. Their job should not be to get a guilty person off the hook, it should be to represent them for their best possible outcome. Reasonable doubt should be created within reason.
Yes!! The usual defense is killing out of self-defense or insanity plea, never as despicable as the tactic they use in this case!
