Court documents: Delphi murder suspect confessed to his wife | NewsNation Now

[@JSandage]

This monster butchered 2 young girls and then hid in plain sight, living a "normal" life for 6 years. He was not insane then and he isn't insane now, he is a sadistic, murdering monster and I hope he gets the death penalty.

[@IceQueen165]

No he disappeared into a alcoholics facility to hide their and avoid any suspicion. He is acting now and calculating just like he did after the murders

[@terygo5520]

Just have the trial already before he pleads insanity or dies.......get it over with!

[@audreydaleski1067]

Death wouldn't be so bad.

[@jessethepersiankitty2377]

How do you think the families feel

[@jirowmom]

Yeah, he does not look good at all.

[@enochia]

Rest in peace Abby and Libby.

[@Newjerseyblows]

👏🙏😢

[@RoyDurett]

by default anyone who would murder 2 little girls is insane. shouldn't be considered a defense.

[@peterjanson1058]

Insane doesn't equal evil. I would posit that anyone who would kill two little girls must be either insane or evil, but could certainly be one without being the other. An evil person understands the negative consequences of his or her actions and desires that outcome. An insane person doesn't understand the consequences of his or her actions, regardless of desired outcome.

[@trinabaker3186]

I have always thought the same thing. Thank you! No one in their right mind would do something like this. But ... they need to be locked up.

[@superjaded1738]

Yeah, people who commit these crimes aren’t wrapped real tight to start with. They aren’t well adjusted. An insanity defense is hard to prove, that someone was incapacitated to the point of not knowing right from wrong. They can get him a psych eval & administer antipsychotics to get him in tiptop shape for trial. He likely knew right from wrong when he committed the crime because it seems like he did try to cover up by admitting he had been in the area but didn’t know anything about the crime. Eventually we will find out what happened out there. The case that fits the insanity plea in my mind is Andrea Yates, the women that drowned her 5 kids in the bathtub. I believe her physician told her not to have anymore kids & they didn’t listen - she later suffered severe mental illness. This country doesn’t properly address mental illness, but that’s a whole other topic for another day.

[@dom404gamer8]

Idk he confessed on April 3 on phone w wife then his attorney next day files for a transfer stating his mental state decline then he starts eating papers and destroying his ipad not showering refusing to eat refusing to sleep very convenient 🤨

[@lauramyers4547]

Perfectly stated. That sounds like the behavior of a spoiled child not a mentally ill person.

[@razzlevision3562]

Put him into general population

[@nemonucliosis]

Wont happen.

[@GrannyGooseOnYouTube]

Even the judge doesn't call the shots on that one.

[@ginanormand1139]

Did she report the confession to police? He also confessed to his Mother. Did either one say anything? Stupid criminals & their delusional family should know all calls are monitored.

[@TribalThief]

If you think this was just him with no help , if you think this was his first murder especially with a knife at day time, you're out of your mind.

[@frenchfriedrat]

Yeah, most killers don't start out with a double murder but then look at Kohberger, an alleged quad.

[@markmeadows7093]

It was just him. He he a gun.

[@showerpwner]

if that was so and he admitted his guilt...wouldnt you think he would admit more who helped? he has no future. no reason not to say if anyone else was involved.

[@nemonucliosis]

Unless you have evidence it wasnt his first murders please feel free to showcase them . Otherwise it's all opinion and speculation. Many murderers kill two or three people their first time.

[@EricK-tb2dn]

Kegan Cline has some sort of involvement, he was the owner of the Anthony Shots profile and he was interviewed a few days before they found the weapon in the river.

[@traciewabluee3508]

I want to know what she said to him, since he said it multiple times before hanging up.

[@JaVi-wf1gl]

Why do we care about his mental health. He killed 2 innocent girls. Of course he is mentally ill. Who cares!!! And the wife should have called the police right after he confessed! Hope there is punishment, so the next wife knows better!

[@normakennedy2936]

He was already in jail when he confessed on the phone to his wife .

[@nemonucliosis]

You should care because it can have an impact on the case. Defense can say he was having psychosis during the murders and although could still be found guilty, he could get a lesser charge.

[@Hojiii]

I'd like to hear the "confession" and also confirm if it is true that prison guards have been using enhanced interrogation techniques on him.

[@firee88]

[@cherylsherman6559]

​@@firee88he looks EXACTLY like the guy on the bridge!! What are you talking about?

[@trinabaker3186]

It's called hyper anxiety. He experienced the same thing when he saw the video of bridge guy on the news ... he checked himself into a mental hospital because he could not handle the hyper stress. It's not mental illness ... it's just freaking the hey out of your mind. Can you imagine he probably was just starting to recover from seeing himself on the news for 5 years when the police knocked on his door with a search warrant. He has freaked out so much that he is trying to eat documents so he doesn't end up in prison for the rest of his life.

[@jgmoneymechanics]

Why are we not blasting his wife during this she already knew he did this years ago she in not innocent in this screw her privacy

[@brendaredmond4678]

Look, his wife already knew... she had to. I'm sure she recognized her husband as bridge guy and I'm sure there was much more evidence she saw. She probably confronted him over and over for the last 5 years and the only thing left for him to do is admit it. So he did. Now he is trying to manipulate her like all controlling husband's do with the "If you leave me, I'm going to kill myself."

What happens if he confesses to his attorneys? Do they keep that to themselves or do they have an obligation to say so?

[@user-zp3oz7op6w]

attorney -client confidentiality so they keep it to themselves

[@tiff-skirocksonville49]

Cute question, but the prosecutor has to prove the case, the defense defends him to their best abilities within the law, they won’t say anything against their client even if they know they are guilty as hell.

[@markmeadows7093]

As soon as we seen the suspect everyone knew it was him. He looks just like the guy.

[@rachelgodschild168]

My question is why????? Why those girls did nothing to him!!!! And he killed them what a idiot!!!!

[@EsotericOccultist]

That's what I'm wondering too. I want to know the psychology of how it's even possible to do something like this. Nobody talks about that. What the hell causes someone to do this?

[@tonifitz6831]

I totally understand the defense has a job to do.. If the guy is admitting to this, unless the defense strongly believes he is innocent.. Then why not just go guilty.. If they do think Allen is the right man, then why fight for his innocence, so he can loose it again and again and the world looses two or more other innocent young lives... Come on defense advise him to go guilty..

[@14isoldenough]

You better hope its not a false confession. .

[@stevewhitener4903]

@@14isoldenoughDoubtful. Seeing as he spoke with LE back in 2017 after the murders and confirmed being on the trails at the time Abby and Libby were there and also described in detail what he was wearing that day, which matched exactly with what BG had on. RA did this before he or any of us even knew that LE had that video on Libby’s phone of BG walking towards them then telling them to go down the hill. He pretty much told on himself back then. He wouldn’t have said shit or would have lied had he known LE had video.

[@nemonucliosis]

Because it's not his lawyers that can change his plea. RA himself needs to change his plea. Also, theres a big difference between a confession and a full confession.

[@tonifitz6831]

@nemonucliosis yes I know.. I get its their job but if the do think he's the guy, and they still have to defend him, which could potentially lead to him back on the street.. I wouldn't like to be in their shoes.
