The lawyer for the illegal immigrant accused of killing an Iowa college student suggested Wednesday that President Trump has tainted his clients chance to get a fair hearing by publicly talking about the case.
Cristhian Rivera made his first appearance in an Iowa courtroom Tuesday on first degree murder charges in the slaying of Mollie Tibbetts, whose disappearance last month drew national headlines.
The judge set Mr. Riveras bail at $5 million, cash-only.
Mr. Rivera, according to investigators, admitted to having accosted her while she was jogging July 18, and then hiding her body. He led police to her body this week.
The case inflamed the immigration debate, with Mr. Trump weighing in Tuesday night, blaming a broken immigration system for contributing to the murder and saying it should have never happened.

He led them to her body and gave a sort of half admission.

They said the same thing about Nixon and Manson. Manson still died in prison.

“”Manson still died in prison.””
But boy - it took a heck of a long time.....
To: FroedrickVonFreepenstein
And the judge had to question how many jurors saw the newspaper that Manson held up in the courtroom. No one ever said who gave him the paper or why it wasn’t taken away from him..

It is disgusting that no-borders advocates rush to the defense of what is a crime in any society, routinely characterizing illegal entry as “immigration.” It’s not immigration, folks. It’s criminal illegal migration.

Who’s paying for the lawyer?
A fair trial would be to toss him in a corn silo.

He admitted to killing her and gave the cops all the details and then led them to her body. I’m going with they got the guy.

The parents of Mollie #MolliesWall should be allowed to post bail for the young man, and give him a ride to his destination.
It would be a shame if he went missing on the way...
