Day 5 of Delphi murders trial includes 'Bridge Guy' witness, pathologist

[@sniffles8655]

This case will go down in history as one of the most ridiculous prosecutions in modern day law. The prosecution should have waited until they had all their ducks in a row before bringing it to trial. They are just throwing everything at the wall hoping that at least some of it will stick. We need justice for these young girls, not a freaking clown show.

There is no excuse for his family to have not came forward multiple times. They know what he looks like, they know the clothes he wears, they know what he sounds like, and they know he was there that day. How could they not have relayed this information multiple times.

[@dawnclabaugh3598]

If his family doesn’t think, or have any reason to think that he had anything to do with the crime. According to what the prosecutor has now shown, the “bridge guy” was so far from the girls, he couldn’t be seen on the 85 inch screen when the video was shown. But somehow, he sprinted across the bridge in time to supposedly say whatever before the 43 second video ended. That bridge is about 1300 feet long.

[@saltyseale8561]

2 of Ron Logans x girlfriends identified him as bridge guy very early on. Ron Logan was on the News wearing identical hat and jacket as bridge guy. couple days later he was also wearing the red flannel shirt you can see hanging out of the front of bridge guys jacket.

[@hollyinhell]

I'm so disappointed how the law enforcement screwed up the case for these victims. We sure see why they didn't want cameras.

[@mysightofthings]

The ONLY reason to mess up an investigation is to HIDE THE REAL PERP. A ploy ALWAYS used by guilty COPS.

[@rdevans4097]

Why are they referring to the bloodied Man as Bridge Guy seen by the witness when it could be two different people?

[@missinginbc]

Sounds like there may be a officer or two manipulating evidence?

[@Hoosier_leclere]

I don't know if he's guilty or not but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets off. The state and the cops had done a horrible job throughout this entire investigation. It's a damn shame if he is guilty.

They were only involved for a short time in the beginning, I don’t know why they turned the case back over, but it is crazy!

Too risky to ask

For both sides it is risky. It would break or make the case. ...

[@dawnclabaugh3598]

Defense has no need to ask; seems like it must be too risky for the prosecution to ask.

[@kathleenkeane4364]

​@@sylvaincroissant7650looking from a far this case is in tatters.looks like a cover up, but must look like the got the killer. I think back to a bomming in England where six Irish men were convicted, Guilford four, another case of four Irish me n all taken from their homes and sentenced to life in prison. Only to all found innocent twenty years later , someone found the corrupt files, the government had to arrest the Irish to satisfy the British people.miscarriage of justice. Families were destroyed. some never recovered, Justice for all. RIP beautiful girls.

[@mysightofthings]

So convenient to “lose” evidence

[@jcwilson4295]

I think it is RA.. I cant see it being Ron Logan..He had a grey hair and stash..This looks more like Richard Allen to me. Theres a reason she filmed BG..He said something or did something to give her the creeps. Allen has also volunteered himself being there..most likely to see the reaction of LE to see if he was in the clear. A bullet from his gun probably racked in front of the girls to gain compliance...but he used a knife instead..thats how the bullet was found right by the girls. Probably forgot one was chambered then couldnt find it in the leaves. THEN he admits that he did it ovet 60 times to his wife on a recorded prison phone call and an intent to confess tonthe warden..I think he guilty or atleast involved 100%

[@AmyMeyer-h9c]

Other than the bullet has the prosecution presented any evidence that directly links RA to the crime? I wish the judge allowed cameras.

[@JustJames5353]

The cartridge is hella flimsy & super sus evidence too. I was open minded & willing to hear both sides, but it appears that the prosecution's whole case & theory is going to hell in a handbasket.

The incompetence of law enforcement in Delphi is overwhelming. Ever case that they have been involved with should be in question. High School students of 50 years ago could have done better. Yeah, I'm not saying that about high school students of the last decade. Who knows where their mindset is at with this no child left behind mindset?😂

So messed up

[@mattlubas4038]

Should have let the FBI run this case not a bunch of rookies who lose evidence .. They left the bloody sticks there like what!?? Then they decided to go back get them later on. The hair on the finger of the girls could b a huge clue .. especially if it does not belong to richard or the family.. Maybe the girl grabbed the killer by the hair fighting back.. From the start cops hs e always said the way the sticks were place was almost ritualistic and very strange.. I think if Richard did it he would have def had some kind of evidence on his computer or phone or even Dna in his car.also he confessed to using a box cutter tyats a very shallow blade and not to get descriptive or gross it would take awhile do that with a box cutter. No Dna bullet inconclusive .they need to be 1000% right Richard is the man to get true justice for these girls I would not want to be a Juror see reasonable doubt all over this case.. plus judge wont let the defense get anything in just seems sketchy why she is so Biased

WOW those two girls walked a crossed that bridge 80 to 100 feet up, with gap between the ties. Takes a lot of guts to do that.

[@PersianDiamond]

If this guy manages to not be brought to justice the entire team on the prosecutor side is to blame and that includes every single investigating officer most especially the moron that spoke to RA the day after when he admitted to being on the trails. How how how could they have messed up so badly one thing after another. Beyond enraging.

[@tjc30300]

It matters not if you think he is guilty or not. If you or a loved one was fighting for your life every interview done you deserve to see/hear/watch. The police & Prosecution need to bring their A game . Its not enough to just qsk people to look the other way

[@lesliejacobs3605]

Does anyone know why the prosecution is putting on witnesses that say they saw bridge guy but describe someone totally opposite looking from Richard Allen? How does this help their case?

[@Emiley.15]

Russ as a reporter is not doing a good job of reporting and being impartial. All I hear from him is how he is against the prosecution. We all know Russ is in the side of the defense. What kind of reporting is this. How can he report if he is always making comments against prosecution. We want a reporter that can report without bias. I can’t believe anything coming out of this man’s mouth.

[@juliannfriend6226]

I totally agree

[@emma2370]

I think it’s important to be honest about how terribly the investigators mishandled this case. I only hear a reporter actually reporting on the case. Those girls deserve justice and frankly the incompetence of officials handling the case prevented that. It’s possible to believe he is guilty and also think the state is doing an awful job proving it.

[@Emiley.15]

@@emma2370 Russ has been commenting about Richard Allen innocence since he was apprehended. Prosecution has made many errors. No one is trying to cover that up. But all Russ talks about is Allen not being given a fair chance. It gets tiresome. Just report without the extra comments. That’s what I am saying.

[@yesyourang2224]

If you have a car accident and go to hospital to have a blood test to prove you don’t have any drugs/alcohol in your system the hospital gives you a vile of your blood for yourself to take home incase it needs to be retested or something happens to the one they keep, this happens in Australia but I don’t know if this is the practise in America, it makes me believe that if your interview is recorded you should be supplied with a copy of the recording or be allowed to record the interview yourself for not only their evidence purposes but for your own protection especially if they can turn around and say it was lost or failed to record. Just my opinion.

[@sammyday3341]

I imagine RA is BG. I have to think RA’s wife recognized BG as her husband, unless she’s a complete dunce. I KNOW my wife would recognize me, even with the graininess. Maybe his wife just couldn’t handle the shock, or he somehow convinced her it’s not him, or it is him but he didn’t kill them.

[@SueDeNym08]

You are probably right about the shock. Our brains have difficulty processing trauma, which is likely why DE said he thought the bodies were mannequins. It also explains why this witness would initially say "muddy" and then later report "muddy/bloody." Blood on clothes might appear brown. The brain would assume mud, because who would immediately process that as blood just seeing a guy walking?

[@christylynne7714]

From the beginning theyve kept things close to their chest making me think ok theyve got this. They have integrity and are gonna get this person/persons. They seem to know what theyre doing. Get to trial - NOPE. Complete and udder shit show. They have nothing. Know nothing and dont seem to really care if true justice is served. So sad and upsetting that these families are having to go thru this when anyone can see this is dirty and some type of cover up.
