He is not accused, he confessed to the murder, PERIOD.
So now we begin the drama, probably two years of this low-life attorney, Allan Richards, saying things such as he’s an “all-American boy working really hard”. Sure he is, he’s so American he can’t speak English, and he worked really hard at stalking and killing Mollie Tibbetts. If this guy is an “all American boy” I’m the first man to walk the surface of Mars.
The judicial system in this country is even more broken than the immigration system, which is what allows Mexico to send us their best, such as this murdering scum. TGO

Christine Pelisek,People Thu, Aug 23 The man accused of murdering 20-year-old college sophomore Mollie Tibbetts made his first appearance at the Poweshiek County Courthouse in Iowa on Wednesday.
At the hearing, Cristhian Bahena Rivera’s attorney Allan Richards argued against allowing expanded news media coverage of the case, and shed light on Rivera’s life before Tibbetts’ death.
“The coverage that’s out there is leaning all one way and in fact, government has weighed in at the highest levels,” Richards said in court.
“In our system of justice, he’s entitled to that presumption of innocence until some evidence is presented. Portraying Cristhian as something that he isn’t, in some ways I view that as a political payback for what’s swirling around,” Richards continued.
Richards later explained that before Tibbets’ murder, Rivera had “no prior criminal record,” telling PEOPLE: “He was just a part of the community. An all-American boy working really hard.”
Richards said, “Whether or not there was something that happened that was very outrageous that is a different matter. I have seen no evidence on that at no point and he is presumed innocent until we see it.”
“He was a very productive worker,” Richards explained in reference to Rivera’s job at Yarrabee Farms in Brooklyn, Iowa.
“He lived alone and worked 12 hours [a] day, seven days a week. He was handling the milk supply. He is a loving father,” Richards added.
Despite Richards’ plea for mercy, Rivera’s bond was increased from $1 million to $5 million.
In court on Wednesday, Rivera appeared in a black-and-white striped jumpsuit and required translators throughout the hearing.
Tibbetts’ dead body was found earlier this month, several weeks after she went missing following her usual jog in Brooklyn, Iowa, a Police source told PEOPLE Tuesday.
Rivera was charged with her first-degree murder, and according to the police affidavit obtained by PEOPLE, he led investigators to her body, which he concealed with plants.
Rivera’s next court date is a preliminary hearing set for Aug. 31.
President Donald Trump has used Tibbetts’ slaying and Rivera’s status as an undocumented Mexican immigrant to justify his calls to build “the wall,” and tighten up immigration laws.
Let’s be clear, MollieTibbetts is not dead because of our border policies. Mollie Tibbetts is dead because a MALE felt entitled to follow her, approach her and then assault and murder her when she did not return his advance. This is about male violence against women — NOT immigration.
It really wasn’t a wonder that you became a cult follower of Humpty Trumpty as you two think similarly in many ways.
