ABC News
Jury foreman Robert "Bo" Reed described handing down the guilty verdict in the Mollie Tibbetts murder trial as very emotional.
Nearly three years after her death, jurors handed down a guilty verdict in the murder trial of University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts on Friday. In an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America," jury foreman Robert "Bo" Reed described that moment. "I felt my heart was gonna pound through my chest, to be honest with you -- it became very real for me because this is it now," Reed said. "We went through two weeks of this trial and it came down to this. So it was very, very, very emotional at that point." After seven days of testimony, Cristhian Bahena Rivera, a 26-year-old undocumented immigrant from Mexico, was found guilty of first-degree murder -- killing Tibbetts, 20, and hiding her body in a cornfield in the rural city of Brooklyn, Iowa, in July 2018.More Related News
