He's clearly still in the first stage of grief & loss.....denial.

Jury selection is underway today. Trial will start this week.
I wonder what his defense will be. He admitted to kidnapping and killing her and then lead the police straight to her body, a body that they couldn't find after a month of searching. And then he plead not guilty and Iowa taxpayers are going to pay for his murder trial.
"The prominent republican family" that runs a business which hired the killer. Wow the left wing media is such a joke because if that family was democratic, they would NOT mention that fact. Turning this into a political baiting article shows how unprofessional and disgusting the media is, in fact. Someone was murdered, yet the media gets off on using it as click bait and politic baiting.
Hear all the liberals making excuses?

Says the white addict. An injustice somewhere is an injustice everywhere. Can you at least think on this?
Well, it appears we have his "defense." He blacked out and doesn't remember anything.
Prosecution says they have him on video (a home surveillance camera) driving past her on her run and then circling back to get another look at her because he thought she was "hot" (accused word). He admitted to getting out of his car and running along side her and when she threatened to call the police, they started fighting. And then POOF, he "blacks out." The next thing he remembers is he is driving and somehow realizes that he has her dead body in his trunk(her blood is found there). So he drives to a cornfield and hides the body.
Prosecution is clearly desperate. They seem like they are trying to pin it on the boyfriend and his brother. They got the boyfriend to admit they were having relationship problems and that he had cheated on her. Also asked the BF and brother what guns they had in their homes. They are hunters so obviously they have guns. But she wasn't killed by a gun and the boyfriend was out of the state the night it happened.
I think it's a lock for a guilty conviction.
Car--Camera--Blood--Admittance--knowing where the body was--This case is as straightforward as they can get.
I wonder how the defense lawyers sleep at night, trying to pin the murder on her boyfriend just to get their client out of trouble. They KNOW he did it, regardless of his fake memory problems. It won't work and they can go to hell for trying.
The defense starts today. It looks like they are trying to argue that his Miranda Rights were not read properly (and thus invalidating his confession) and that "it is possible that someone else committed the murder" because he was not actually caught in the act. Pure desperation. It should be a lock for a conviction. Either way, we lose because a young woman was murdered and the taxpayers from Iowa will pay for this piece of $hit's every need for the next 50+ years. He shouldn't have been here in the first place.

Ask the prominent Republican who hired him to work on his farm why he did that.
At the last minute he concocted a bull$hit story about "two masked men" who forced him to be the driver. Just beyond moronic to ask the jury to swallow this garbage.
Wow, that is beyond garbage. Seriously, how did his lawyer even allow him to say this on the stand? It almost looks like the defense lawyer knows there is a 0% chance he can win and so he is just trying to do such a terrible job that the defendant can appeal on the basis of not having competent lawyers. Pure desperation at this point. Anytime the defendant takes the stand you know the defense is desperate.

If it weren't such a gruesome case you would just have to laugh at the "Dog ate my homework" defense...you might be on to something with a ploy of some sort for a mistrial or appeal.
Notice how liberals deliberately call illegal immigrants 'immigrants", as if they are all the same?
Shows the inherent dishonesty of liberals...
Rivera found guilty.
Sorry liberals. You gave it your shot, but lost.
The only issue is a REPUBLICAN donor hired this perp and didn’t do a thorough background check. So the issue is the hiring of illegal immigrants by hypocrite Republicans like Trump and this Iowa corporate gamer. You should direct your ire toward the prominent REPUBLICAN family that hired this criminal. Sorry, you showed up to the wrong contest. Only triggered snowflakes would say this was a liberal issue.

Huh? You’re an idiot.
Guilty as sin. Hang him high.

Are you seriously denying that liberals are pro-illegal immigrant? What crock are you fun?
This gets notched as a high-profile liberal loss. It's in the Loss Column.
Blaming someone for a background check! You liberals are funny, man. It's okay if I call you man, isn't it? I don't want to step anyone's insecurities or confusions.
Yes, this was an undocumented immigrant, but let's not make it seem as if they are a danger to our society in general. On average, their violent crime rate is much lower than the general populace.

The same week Tibbetts was murdered a white guy in Iowa shot and killed three others, not twenty miles away. Not a peep about him.
