I’m just wondering how it could be a false confession when he led them to her dead body?? Like there is no denying that
Amazing what a lawyer will do for money, no soul
This case is very similar to the one of Laken Riley both killed by in illegal immigrants, time that something drastic is done.

My condolences go out to Molly's family I also lost a daughter so I know the pain and suffering they're going through
This is Exactly why we need that wall built
I think i'm moving to the US. I'll just walk right in without anything, but seems to be ok. I know english but that's not needed anyway to live in the U.S.. It's astounding.
It seems like illegal immigrants have more rights and benefits than actual citizens! WTF…how did we get to this point? 🤬
Vile, despicable defense lawyers.
Illegal migrants should not be held to the same laws of the U.S. They should be held to stricter consequences or to the laws of their home country.
I know the police woman she did do a great job translating!
The sheer level of this cop's ignorance is stunning. Its already ridiculous that most cops have the exact same playbook, they've had for decades, which is deeply flawed already. But they never are taught anything about psychology, mental illness, addiction, domestic violence, trauma, & the list goes on. And yet, you would think that these people whose entire job is supposed to be investigating things & solving problems, just might realize that a LANGUAGE BARRIER also means a difference in culture, a difference in social cues, body language, what concepts & phrases might mean, & for god's sake, they seem completely blind to the idea that someone here illegally might just be scared of that. I mean, that cop started this video, about HIS own job, with saying that when people go missing its cuz they are drug addicts. Dude needs to be a dog walker & not a cop.
I'm often stunned by what people say about missing women, like this guy, "Its usually about drugs or mental illness? My dude, Google the data on how many women, of every age, in every state, are vanished, & murdered, every single day. And after you've look at those numbers, Google only the data on Native American women that vanish & are never found. The last time I looked, it had 6000 women in a single year.
I think it’s interesting how they don’t want anyone to use his legal status to determine culpability, but they sure don’t have a problem using him not being to speak the language and his status to claim that the prosecution used it as leverage
Despite the Killer taking the police to the site where he dispose of the victim's body, the victim's blood on Rivera's car ; the defense attorney would still try to incriminate the boyfriend. This shows you how messed up our Criminal Justice system is. It is just sheer evil to try to put an innocent person (the boyfriend) in jail.
I wish they’d give this public attention to EVERY MISSING WOMAN ………… “Normal Victim Profile”………. Literally says it all unfortunately
I used to walk around the lake by myself. But because of this case — and others — I NEVER will again.
Any lawer that trys to help someone like this should go to jail too !
"Undocumented migrant"… This is so often the common denominator not only in US but in Europe, it's time the authorities made borders a lot tougher to cross
They Believed his Stories..😂😂😂😂 Undocumented Mexican..
Bidenspolicy of Open Borders policy.
Then pray tell, HOW did he lead them to her body? His lawyer is a POS.
Molly
Molly I love multiculturalism titbits ……..
😢
COWARD!!!
Always believed they have the wrong guy on this case. This man was set up, easy target blame the undocumented immigrant. Ok. Yeah right ..
I dont think ive heard a worse defense closing argument
I commend this young man and his composure, because I already know this is probably one of the hardest things he has ever done.
Kidnapping a girl, r*ping a girl, and then k*lling her is crazy because you ain’t got game smh
After three years to come up with two masked men. What a crap!
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 get holding him due to his immigration status, but what about his driving? Was he licensed to drive in the US?
What do you mean whats taking so long its a persons life, thats why i don't like jury's they just treat everything so lightly
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
4:30 did he say the hairs on your BACK stand up? 😬
How about the employer of this guy. Isn't it against the law to pay workers under the table?
They have the wrong guy. His only crime was bei g mexican, naive and undocumented. Cops did an awful job. The real killer still walking around iowa
He brought them to the dead body and had blood in his car… case closed. lol waste of 45 minutes and taxpayer dollars
Not sure how someone could defend that guy..
I will never forget seeing her face all over my town….Rest in Peace Mollie
nobody is gonna say anything about the fact that this killer shoudnt even be in the USA in the 1st place? The american federal government should pay tens of millions of dollars to families of people killed by undocumented migrants..
