MONTEZUMA, Iowa — The farmhand charged in the abduction and stabbing death of 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts in Iowa has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder. Cristhian Bahena Rivera is charged in the killing of Tibbetts, a University of Iowa student who disappeared while out for a run July 18 in Brooklyn, Iowa.

Investigators recovered her body a month later in a cornfield. A medical examiner said Tibbetts was stabbed to death.

Rivera entered his plea Wednesday at the Poweshiek County Courthouse in Montezuma, Iowa.

It certainly seems clear as far as I know, that he did this. I've seen this happen before, they confess and yet, plead not guilty.

Rest In Peace Mollie

LOL. So the Lib MSM is now calling him a "Farmhand"? How folksy. Did he come to court with a piece of grass in his mouth too?

I honestly did not know that was even possible.

Confess to the murder
Explain exactly what caused the murder
Explain exactly how you did the murder
Show police the location of the body
And then claim 'not guilty'

How does that work? I am confused, in a legal sense.
Maybe insanity defense? I don't know...?

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Insanity defense is one.
Perhaps the confession was improperly obtained.  Perhaps evidence was improperly obtained.  Perhaps the defense thinks they can get a sympathetic jury.  Perhaps they think there will be prosecutorial misconduct.  Perhaps they think they can bargain a better deal later.

Plus... while our justice system has always had basis in an adversarial battle, the legal profession has turned it entirely into a game.

To be fair they referred to David Berkowitz as a "Trusty Civil Servant".
