PUBLISHER'S NOTE: This Blog is interested in false confessions
because of the disturbing number of exonerations in the USA, Canada and
multiple other jurisdictions throughout the world, where, in the
absence of incriminating forensic evidence the conviction is based on
self-incrimination – and because of the growing body of scientific
research showing how vulnerable suspects are to widely used
interrogation methods such as the notorious ‘Reid Technique.’"

PUBLISHER'S NOTE: "The Cristhian Bahena Rivera case has become heavily
politicized, as reporter Luke Nozicka reports in The Des Moines
Register, in a story headed 'Mollie Tibbett's father says daughter would
not want to be face of immigration debate, published on September 1,
2018, which can be read at the link below: "After his daughter’s body
was found and a man authorities say is an
undocumented immigrant was charged with murder, some politicians
immediately used Mollie's killing as
a rallying cry for tougher immigration laws.........."After he read a
guest column in the Register from Donald Trump Jr., the eldest child of President Donald Trump, Rob Tibbetts said he had to respond. Trump
Jr.'s column criticized Democrats' response to Mollie Tibbetts'
killing and said the party seemed more concerned with "protecting their
radical open-borders agenda than the lives of innocent Americans."
In a response published in the Register,
Rob Tibbetts said his family was grateful to the politicians who heard
his appeal and stopped using his daughter's death to promote agendas.
But others did not, instead choosing to "callously distort and corrupt
Mollie's tragic death," he said. Quoting Trump Jr.'s column, Tibbetts said it's "heartless" and "despicable." President
Trump and other politicians — including Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and both
of Iowa’s Republican U.S. senators — have referenced the University of
Iowa student's death to promote increased border security measures."

PASSAGE OF THE DAY: "This week, Bahena Rivera’s defense attorneys were able to
successfully get the trial moved to February, telling the court that
they needed additional time to gather expert witnesses for forensic
evidence released this month, the Des Moines Register. The attorneys said not granting another trial delay would be a
violation of Bahena Rivera’s constitutional rights to a fair trial. Now,
the trial will begin February 4, 2020. As Breitbart News has chronicled, Bahena Rivera has been able to win a
series of battles in the court system, getting worth of taxpayer-funded
services like a full-time translator, previously a trial delay, and
after he claimed that the county where the trial was set to be heard had
a population that was too white and not Hispanic enough. Bahena Rivera’s attorneys have for months to suppress his alleged
murder confession and have it thrown out of the case before the trial
begins. The attorneys said Bahena Rivera’s “constitutional rights” when
police questioned him.:

STORY: "The illegal alien accused of murdering 20-year-old University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts in 2018 has successfully lobbied for the trial against him to be delayed yet again," by by Breitbart News reporter, published on November 28, 2019.
GIST: "In August 2018, Cristhian Bahena Rivera, a 25-year-old illegal alien
from Mexico, was with Mollie Tibbetts’ murder after police said he
admitted to confronting and chasing down the young woman. This week, Bahena Rivera’s defense attorneys were able to
successfully get the trial moved to February, telling the court that
they needed additional time to gather expert witnesses for forensic
evidence released this month, the Des Moines Register. The attorneys said not granting another trial delay would be a
violation of Bahena Rivera’s constitutional rights to a fair trial. Now,
the trial will begin February 4, 2020. As Breitbart News has chronicled, Bahena Rivera has been able to win a
series of battles in the court system, getting worth of taxpayer-funded
services like a full-time translator, previously a trial delay, and
after he claimed that the county where the trial was set to be heard had
a population that was too white and not Hispanic enough. Bahena Rivera’s attorneys have for months to suppress his alleged
murder confession and have it thrown out of the case before the trial
begins. The attorneys said Bahena Rivera’s “constitutional rights” when
police questioned him. According to prosecutors, Bahena Rivera was the last person who saw
Tibbetts jogging on the evening of July 18 in Brooklyn, Iowa. That is
the night Tibbetts went missing. Bahena Rivera, according to police, said Tibbetts was jogging when he
saw her. That is when he said he approached Tibbetts and started
talking to her. After Tibbetts told Bahena Rivera that she would call
the police if he did not stop following her, the illegal alien allegedly
chased her and says he “blacked out” after this. Police believe Bahena Rivera Tibbetts to death, then drove to a
cornfield where prosecutors say he placed cornstalks over her to hide
her body. The illegal alien has been held on a $5 million bond. "
