b'Sentencing for the man convicted of killing University of Iowa student, Mollie Tibbetts, has been delayed amid new information. \\n\\nJudge Joel Yates ordered Cristhian Rivera\\u2019s sentencing be delayed after two witnesses told investigators that a different man confessed to the crime. The delay came about after the defense filed a motion, blaming the prosecution for withholding evidence. \\n\\nAccording to Bahena Rivera\\u2019s attorneys, an inmate at the county jail said in May that he heard someone identified as \\u201cinmate 2\\u201d admit that Tibbetts was \\u201cbound and gagged in a trap house\\xa0but that he was directed to kill Tibbetts once the search for her got too close,\\u201d CBS 8 reports. Inmate 2 allegedly said he was ordered to stab Tibbetts, who was initially kidnapped for sex trafficking, but killed after the case became too high-profile. \\n\\nInmate 2 allegedly said he was ordered to hide the body near a Hispanic male in Tibbetts\\u2019 area, to pin the blame on someone else. The witness said he came forward after he heard Rivera testify during the trial that two other men killed Tibbetts and put the blame on him. \\n\\nState prosecutors said the inmate is not credible and evidence presented at trial proved that the real killer is Rivera. Still, the defense requested that the inmate be given the opportunity to testify, although the defense had already rested its case.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nJoining Nancy Grace Today:Jason Oshins - New York Defense AttorneyDr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA www.angelaarnoldmd.com, Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum WomenJoe Scott\\xa0Morgan\\xa0- Professor of Forensics Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet" Featured on "The Piketon Massacre: Return to Pike County" on iHeartRadioMatt Finn - FOX News National Correspondent'
