The Iowa Supreme Court has denied an application to review
evidence regarding the man accused of killing 20-year-old
University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts.
25-year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera is charged with Murder in
the First Degree in Tibbetts� death, with investigators saying
he led them to her body in August 2018.
�Upon consideration of the documents filed, the court denies the
application for discretionary review and request for stay,� a
court order filed Tuesday read.
An application from prosecutors to strike the application was
also denied.
Bahena Rivera�s attorneys had filed an appeal to the Iowa
Supreme Court in order to review evidence they say was
inadmissible, but a district court had ruled was admissible at
trial.
The Iowa Judicial Branch previously said the trial will not be
held in February, but the district court now must hold a hearing
to schedule a new trial date.
The trial, which has been moved to Woodbury County from
Poweshiek County, was previously scheduled to begin Feb. 4.
