Bricen Rivers was arrested in Nashville in December 2023 after viciously beating the nursing student while the couple were on vacation after going into a jealous rage. Seven months after being locked up, he was 'mistakenly' released from jail, and returned to Mississippi where he reportedly carried out his ex-girlfriend's murder. Nashville prosecutors have conceded Rivers should not have been freed by a judge during a bail hearing. Judge Cheryl Blackburn, a longtime Democrat jurist, later decided to lower the alleged attacker's bond from $250,000 to $150,000, paving the way for his June 24 release. Just nine days after he posted bond and walked free, Lauren was found beaten to death in Gulfport, Mississippi, and Rivers was arrested on suspicion of murdering her.
