Found Deceased IA - Mollie Tibbetts, 20, Poweshiek County, 19 Jul 2018 *Arrest* #49

[Warwick7]

He didn't call police because it "wouldn't look good."

His attorney asked him two different times why he didn't call police and the second time he said because it would look like he was involved.

She had to remind him that he was afraid for his ex-girlfriend's life and the life of his daughter.

Yes, I remember this. It stunned me.
His daughterxans ex were not in his forefront and he had to be reminded by his own atty the game plan.

Frese asks about Wednesday night (18th). "If Dalton Jack originally told law enforcement he showered and then watched Rush Hour 1" could he confirm? "It's hard to remember it was three years ago."

Frese asks how he was able to testify just now that they grilled, drank, played yard games. "He could've done that during the shower. Had it on then came outside."

IANAL could someone clarify… if there were victim impact statements, would that be during sentencing only or would it happen before the jury goes to deliberations? Is there any indication that there would be any victim impact statements from the family?

 

[splunge999]

This judge just loooves his recesses.

To be fair, they've been slaving away for 30 min now!

If they worked until 7, then he couldn't have been back to Brooklyn until 9:30pm at the earliest. Wasn't the kidnapping around 8:30?:

I was floored when I saw this absurd turn of events on the news yesterday. I’ve followed Mollie’s case from the beginning.

I thought we’d get embellishments through his attorneys of the tale of him blacking out, awaking to a body in his trunk, and other versions of “oops/didn’t mean to/she made him mad/don’t know what went wrong here/they had a mutual conflict, or something like that. Why would they put him on the stand? And then let this unfold?

I can’t believe his lawyers are doing this. How is this not risking their own skin?

 

[MsBetsy]

This is the first time I've seen a change of expression in the defendant. He looked panicked and worried and his eyes were all over the place. I think he was looking at the jury to see their reaction.

Yep!

ETA: Dubuque, Iowa to Brooklyn, Iowa - Google Maps (Roughly 2.5 hours)

 

[MajorHoople]

Yes. A co-worker of mine was murdered in 1994 outside of Des Moines, IA. Link to this case may be found here:

FindLaw's Supreme Court of Iowa case and opinions.

And no, this defense did not work!

First, I'm sorry to hear about your co-workers murder. Second, that was an interesting case. I see that the killer, Jerry Lee Proctor died in prison in 2012. He hanged himself.

Yes it was and even if Dalton did not grill outside after 7, he still could not have made it back in time (sounds like 9:15 or so would be earliest and that is straight from jobsite).

So it really doesn't matter if he watched Rush Hour or grilled out or did both!
Plus to put on a ninja outfit and arrive on foot at CBR house means he would have to be back in Brooklyn much earlier!

 

[usnuzuloose]

I fell asleep who did the state recall?

 

[TL4S]

Nothing new can be presented during the closing arguments, correct? Because there would be no testimony to support it? So even though the supervisor never had to produce records before the last couple weeks, surely the defense would have checked about records in existence before hanging their entire case on DJ. Imo. Is that why they've thrown a couple other names into the mix? People with no clear motive? Their plan Bs?

 

[geevee]

The state called Dalton's boss as a rebuttal witness.

 

[TL4S]

Question. Does the supervisor fit the description of the other masked man? Ugh...I could see the defense going there, if they could.

 

[usnuzuloose]

The state called Dalton's boss as a rebuttal witness.

Thank you

Yes, if he worked until 7, and was seen back at the hotel afterwards , he couldn't have left until 7:30 or so. And he has to meet up with his ninja buddy, and then go to CBR's trailer, hide their car somewhere and walk into the trailer---wait for him to finish washing his hair and drying off---

Then they explain their demands, kidnap him and drive into town to look for Mollie ---by that time, she would have been done with her jog. Too late....That would take longer than the one hour between the time he could sneak away and the 8;30 time of her kidnapping.

Jose Baez completely threw in his own slant during his closing argument. That is why the prosecution gets a follow up for rebuttal.

How far a drive is Dubuque? A couple of hours?

Yes
