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.

[Lawyer] 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."

"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.

Comments about using translator are spot-on.
This tragedy has obviously become another battle in the war between the buonisti and the Trump supporters. I wonder how much help and support this lawyer is getting from the other side.
Dang that guy could almost be a double for our past Halfrican _resident.
Hell why does he have to. Our ignorant Government requires everything made to have instructions in English on them. Even in the grocery stores in our area the damn aisles are labeled in Spanish.
I love to be pushing the cart and start butchering up the words in front of all the Mescans or other brown skin types just to see them squirm. Then I let out with a "why the shit do we have this gibberish in America" loud enough so everyone can hear it. Then I have to hunt down my wife unit because she disappeared.....
Since he’s an “all American boy” he deserves an all American hanging. Slow...hoist him by his neck and watch him strangle.
How does that work?? “he is a loving father” and “he lives alone.”
He loves his children...at a distance.
Nowadays inability to speak or understand english is not an indicator of a foreigner, given our govt schools.
“Yes, nothing says ‘All American’ like ‘Illegal Alien.’”
He meant All North American. Obviously the lawyer was thinking of the continent, not the country. /s
All American Boys do not run up behind a female jogger with the idea of murdering her! Both this guy and his lawyers are dirtballs.
He was also the quarterback on the varsity football team! /s
Lets not encourage ground for appeal d/t poor representation.
“Hard-working” and “all-American”, even if true are irrelevant...Murder is the only issue here...
Once known for their hard-headed, independent thinking and common sense, appears many Iowans have imbibed the diversity Kool-Aid...Born and raised there, I departed in ‘75 and have never looked back...
I have a relative who’s an elected official in an Iowa county, who describes the illegal situation as “bad”...The ag business and meat processors love the cheap labor, so what’s a murder here and there but collateral damage, I suppose...
PUKE
He has a live-in girlfriend and a child, for what it's worth.
Elizabeth Warren should be asked, in a forum in which she cannot dodge answering the question in person:
“Should the illegal alien who killed Mollie Tibbets be separated from his child (or children)?”
And, whatever her answer:
“Why?”
Only in the 21st century would this make sense. Where “All American” equates to “Illegal Alien”. Good boy means Murderer and Rapist. Got it sheep?
The devil owns the evil lawyers.
It will never happen.
The fix is in.
Cohen doesn't want his wasted carcass to turn up in some DC area park as another suicide with three bullet holes in the back of his head.
Lying lawyers are one rung below murdering illegals.
>The fix is in.
Dont be so sure. This is big in Iowa. Iowa has rat Tom MIller as AG, serving since 95. Even by Iowa gubnatorial standards that is a long time. And hes running for his 10th term this fall. GOP hold every other statewide office and both Houses of the Legislature with our first ever female gov., running for her first term on her own. And Trump is quite popular here. If anyone tries to fix this it will outreek any hog pond in the state. The catch is the turds boss being president of the Iowa Farm Bureau who ran unsuccessfully for Iowa Ag Secty in GOP primary last time out. What he, or his family did, in place of eVerify likely its legally sufficient in Iowa, just ineffective. Gov Reynolds needs to come out for upping to mandatory eVerify and get Farm Bureau to urge all its memes torun their staff thru it now rather than wait for the legislative session to mandate it. Cheap labor express wont like it, but should recognize they cant stop it this time. A steady run of shocked Iowa farmers calling ICE on their own illegals this fall would be big and likely cheaper than fighting the inevitable and losing. If National Rats try to leverage AG MIller to fix this and Iowa votersrecognize it he could go down. And if U of IA students react to the killing of one of their own as they should (id Be shocked, but it is conceivable) the rates lose their most reliable base vote in the statement.
