Prosecutors object to defense effort to subpoena records of
University of Iowa student slain July 2018

MONTEZUMA, Iowa — Editor's note: The accompanying video is from
2019 on the year anniversary of Mollie Tibbetts' killing.

Prosecutors in the case of a slain University of Iowa student
are calling defense attorneys' subpoenaing of the victim's bank
records a “fishing expedition.”

The Gazette reports that defense attorneys for Cristhian Bahena
Rivera have subpoenaed Mollie Tibbetts’ bank records.
Prosecutors with the Iowa Attorney General's Office have filed a
motion objecting.


Rivera is charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts' July
2018 stabbing death. Officials say Rivera stalked Tibbetts while
she was running in Brooklyn, Iowa, and stabbed her to death when
she rejected his advances.

Rivera’s trial is set to begin May 17.
