A judge has set a five-million-dollar, cash-only bond for the man accused of attacking 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts as she went for a run in her hometown of Brooklyn on July 18th, then hiding her body in a cornfield. Cristhian Rivera was initially being held on a one-million-dollar bond, but Assistant Attorney General Scott Brown argued it should be five million.

If Rivera comes up with five-million dollars in cash, the judge ruled he can be released but must turn-over his passport and be restricted to staying in Poweshiek County. Rivera’s next court appearance is scheduled for August 31st.

The attorney representing Rivera is asking that cameras be barred from his trial. His attorney, Allan Richards, says images of his client in a courtroom will be used by politicians debating the nation’s immigration system.

Richards has filed court documents indicating Rivera had some sort of legal status to be in the country. Federal officials say they have no record of Rivera applying for so-called DACA protection, nor do they find any documents indicating Rivera’s “immigration status.”
