The defense will begin presenting its arguments in the Mollie Tibbetts murder trial this morning after the prosecution rested Monday on the fourth day of the trial.  Cristhian Bahena Rivera, is accused of confronting Tibbetts as she ran in her hometown of Brooklyn, then killing her and dumping her body in a cornfield in July of 2018.  In a common procedural move,  defense attorney, Jennifer Frese asked the judge to throw out the case. She said there was little evidence to link Rivera to the crime beyond a forced confession.

Prosecutor, Scott Brown, says everything they presented shows Rivera is the killer.

Judge Joel Yates denied the defense motion.
