Lawyers for Christian Rivera are seeking a new trial after his conviction in the murder of Mollie Tibbetts. At Tuesday’s hearing, an inmate testified that another inmate, Gavin Jones, confessed to the stabbing death of the University of Iowa student – calling it a “sex trafficking gone wrong.” But prosecutors argued that Jones was in a treatment facility during the summer of 2018 when Tibbetts was murdered. The judge said he’ll issue a ruling on a new trial as soon as he can.
