DELPHI TRIAL DAY 11: BOMBSHELL CONFESSIONS REVEALED

Thanks so much for doing this for all of us! Here is a little something for your precious son for Halloween 🎃😊

[@Moonflowertarot777]

This is so complicated. I will say as someone with a psychological background that imprisonment takes a HUGE toll on even a grounded individuals mental health. His behavior in jail isn’t indicative of him being a guilty person. I hope to gain more information as the trial closes. Thank you for all of your hard work.

[@jennyray1476]

It doesn't help the head lead psychologist in charge of Richard Allen was hooked on the case watching podcast and various KZbinrs on the Delphi case , I mean it's the most unethical thing I've ever heard, what a joke of a witness

A ‘grounded’ individual usually does not exhibit behaviors that earn them the attention of a homicide squad or earn themselves a vacation in jail. So there’s that.

if he was that mentally unwell he would have been sent to state hospital. that's been a legal agreement that's been in place in Indiana since 2016. its not unreasonable to entertain the fact that a covert narcissist is indulging in the victim role.

[@TierTalk]

What makes this case particularly puzzling is that the girls’ plan was made spontaneously-it wasn’t part of their routine. This means Richard Allen would have acted on an unexpected opportunity. Yet, despite this impulsive nature, he left no evidence, such as DNA, behind. Typically, an unplanned crime leaves traces, which makes the lack of physical evidence here even more concerning.

[@KayLou209]

@ He was thinking about doing it because he bundled up on a warm day! He also armed himself with a gun and box cutter. I think he knew kids would be out there. He went out there often. I think more evidence of that will come out. Plus he got rid of his cell phone? Something incriminating was on it in my opinion. He also probably wore gloves. Lack of DNA is because he was careful but he admits he probably dropped the cartridge. He also admits he got spooked by a van. Eye whiteness’s put bridge guy/ muddy and bloody at or around the scene. He admits he was there. His car was there, he confessed. He states why he did it. It is a totality of evidence and sometimes a lack of evidence. This man also drank first.

[@TierTalk]

@ thank you for the clarity. New learn something new about this case every day.

[@OlWyatt]

Regardless of any speculation on the specifics of this case, from what I can find DNA evidence is only found in about 10% of cases, so considering the location (outside exposed to the elements) it’s not unlikely or uncommon for no DNA evidence to be found.

People should keep in mind how small Carroll County and Delphi really are. "As of July 1, 2023, the population of Carroll County, Indiana was estimated to be 20,525. The county's largest city is Delphi, which had a population of 2,997 in 2023."

[@franceswray8340]

If “innocent until proven guilty” then Allen should have been able to have visits from his family without this being an issue. His admission of guilt is not necessarily sufficient to convict, as confessions are notoriously unreliable. Under certain circumstances false memories can be imprinted, and mental health issues can make recollections unreliable. Allen may well be guilty, and so needs to be incarcerated as a possible risk to public safety, but until he is convicted he should treated as a suspect, not a murderer.

[@marihernandez-from-SAC]

You’re doing great ! I felt like you provided great info to all of us . I’m hard of hearing so I wouldn’t have caught what was said if I was in the courtroom myself .. Great job don’t sweat it .

When you pause or correct yourself it makes it feel more “real” or like my own thoughts vs.a computer generated narrator.❤️

[@sanddollar252]

I want to see somebody pay for this horrible crime as much as the next person, but I’m having more and more trouble believing this is the right guy. I’m 65 years old and have seen many murder trials in my day; yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with so little evidence. It’s like we’re determined to fit a square peg into a round hole. If this is the guy, I want him convicted, but is this the guy???? There’s no DNA, no fingerprints, no eye witnesses to the crime, nothing belonging to the girls found in his possession, no souvenirs, no murder weapon, no old blood on his ‘supposedly matching clothes’, none of his blood or bodily fluids on them, no criminal history, history of violence, or history of child pornography or child abuse (even with his own daughter), no reported strange behavior from his past or his family, no known motive, no nothing. Nothing! Nothing! Nothing but his jailhouse confessions which often mean absolutely nothing in cases like this and definitely can’t be used to incriminate him; especially since he denies them now. It seems all there is is some peculiar behavior becoming apparent and concerning after a few years of incarceration, solitary confinement and the continual verbal abuse, accusations and rejection by prisoners, authorities and everyone he’s ever known and loved. This man has lost absolutely everything, including his self worth, self respect and reason for living. This would drive an innocent man - especially one weak in personal strength - to the depths of mental illness and despair. Again, I’m not saying he is innocent. I have no idea. None of us do. But at this point, if I was a member of the jury, I’d probably have to find him innocent unless something changes, something significant (very significant) is revealed very soon. Yes, he was on the bridge, or thereabouts that day, and at that time; and, yes, he admits to owning and possibly wearing very similar clothes to the ‘bridge guy’ caught on camera, but you cannot convict him on that. And, as I understand, that bullet could be anyone’s with the same kind of gun. Is that right? There’s more reasonable doubt here than I think I’ve ever seen. I find this very, very concerning.

[@kpb3118]

I think he’s guilty - it’s unfortunate that the police botched the case and let someone who should have been a person of interest go for 5 years in which time he has all the time in the world to get rid of any evidence. Where is his phone from 2017? A car matching his description is on camera, he was dressed like bridge man, he admitted being on the bridge, he says he sees a van that scares him, and that’s why he took the girls across the creek - that could not have been in discovery. Sorry - it’s too many coincidences to think he’s not guilty.

[@CuriousES]

@kpb3118 this testimony from the van guy came early on the investigation, Weber owns a gun that could not be ruled out as a match to the cartridge found on the scene. They originally considered him a suspect and somehow they ruled him out, he put himself at the scene (not the bridge) but near the crime scene, his gun couldn’t be ruled out.

[@sanddollar252]

And who cares about his car? Of course his car was there that day because he was there. That’s not even in question. He’s never denied that, so I find this determination to prove his car was there a tad ridiculous.

[@campscramps]

@@kpb3118you need to do some serious reflection on your own biases. You haven’t been provided more credible evidence for RA than the defenses provided for five-AND DEFINITELY TWO-other suspects who can be connected to the scene, sketches, one another, and the victims. This “star” witness was literally fired for her egregious unprofessionalism. The investigators have hidden evidence, witnesses, and even FBI affidavits. Those are FACTS. I understand that it’s easier to believe that RA did it than it is to believe what the defense is alleging. Because it’s unbelievable and HORRIFIC. …but this might just be another another unbelievable and horrific truth that’s been flaunted right in front of our eyes. Just look at Diddy and the abhorrent, tentacled web that’s being unspooled there. The world is clearly not what we’d like to believe it is.

Still though, he did lose his damn mind and confessed to loads of things that were absolutely not true at all.

[@CuriousES]

1:10:10 that is the exact definition of cross examination, you can lead the witness when it is cross examination. Im surprised you haven’t noticed in all the trials you have watched.

This is the prosecution and the judge obstructing a fair trial breaking the cross pace and forcing the defense to have to jump through ridiculous objections.

[@LTrain312]

I’m so shocked to see people thinking today went well for the prosecution.

Or if things went over peoples heads. But I’m truly baffled by this reaction. this was incredibly terrible day for the prosecutions case, which was already weak. But, a lot of people also think guilty UNLESS and until proven innocent by the defendant, which goes against everything our justice system stands for. Stuff like this always makes me sad to see that people still think this way

[@kpb3118]

You have to admit that most times the simplest explanation is correct. He was there on the day, a car matching his car’s description was on camera, he has all his phones going back years except the one he had that day, his physique and how he was dressed matches that of bridge man, gun/bullet match (although I’m not sure the science is well accepted), and last but not least, he confesses multiple times. Some say he used what was in discovery and repeated it, but how could the white van be in discovery? The prosecution could not have had that info until after RA said he saw a van that scared him. So that’s why I feel he’s guilty - how many white men matching the same physical description driving a dark Ford were at an obscure park on a weekday mid afternoon? Too many coincidences.

[@SpicyBeautifulDisaster]

@@kpb3118he might be guilty, but they should have proved it without breaking RA through solitary confinement for over a year.

I agree - I have a legal background so I know how quickly a case can turn around 180 degrees - and the Defense hasn't put their case on yet. Maybe he is guilty - and If RA did this crime, fry him.

You should be suspicious of the people that tell the witnesses to not talk to the mic, who is wanting to hide the evidence from the public? You trust whatever the prosecutor says but dont you see the red flags from them and the judge??? It should be obvious with all the obstacles they are putting and making you have to be in permanent lines and then to try to hear.

[@IzzyMariel]

there is no sound system in the courtroom. the mic goes to the court reporter for transcription.

[@rhondachambers4926]

​@@IzzyMarielnot true, the judge said only the people in the front needed to hear

[@IzzyMariel]

@@rhondachambers4926 not sure what that has to do with my point which is that there are no speakers in the courtroom. The mic is for the transcription system

I'm barely 5'3" and 90 pounds and would trust Dr. Wala as far as I could throw her. There's a psychologist on the jury. I hope she can set the record straight for the jurors upon reviewing all of the evidence... that Judge Gull so graciously allows to be admitted. I can wait to hear Dr. John on this.

[@GreenWoolWitch]

Lauren, I’ve followed this case from the beginning. Walla accessed Keegan Kline’s info in the database used for prisoners even though she had no reason to do so (not part of his treatment team). From what I understand, she was investigated for that, and the research on the case, and ultimately fired.

[@jeanie8831]

Not sure that's the reason. Not fired. She still works for the company at a different facility.

[@gigi0698]

Thank you for all you do! Enjoy your Halloween with your family!

[@meganlaynecrafts]

We should all be concerned about the justice system that has been shown in this case. If you think what happened in this case with the investigation and with the treatment of an assumed innocent until proven guilty man is okay, think if the girls were your loved ones or RA was your loved one. It should enrage all of us to demand change!

[@ginabee848]

What did they do to him?

[@juliecrane9647]

I'm gonna need to read the transcript for this trial b4 I'm convinced of innocence or guilt. The jurors know they have to presume innocent until they begin to deliberate. Hope they're able to wait bc this is all over the place.

[@kimgallagher1815]

He was eating his poop they can not put a guy like this into gen pop geesh!!!! if he was faking it just to get out of there and saying that he killed the girls so he could get out of there , then once he didn't get out of there wouldn't you think he would try a new angle??? I mean you think he us sane to fake a confession sousbt he sane enough to stop eating his poop? If he was truly saying they would've had him out of there and if he was truly saying his psychologist would've put up more of a fight. He sat with him the whole time he wasn't shackled. he was just tormented by the demonic spirits in him either way he has always been. It was coming to a head in his life. The best thing he could've ever done was just to confess and leave it at that and stop eating his poop. he wasn't allowed out of there because his behaviours were not good for general population.

[@elsaibarra6092]

Just the thought about RA possibly not being the right 🔪iller makes me so scared for people that live in the area. That is what it should be about. True justice for the girls. Making sure they have the right person 100%!!! Forcing and torturing people into confession, being so secretive about the trial and be on a rush to close a case doesn’t look good folk! Feels so un-American and corrupt!!!

Which episode is with Dr John regarding the confessions? I am interested in hearing his opinions. Thanks in advance

[@janeenrao9773]

As a therapist, I find it interesting how the defense is stuck on the shredding of notes. It’s proper procedure to enter the notes into the system and then shred paper copy. She probably can’t bring a laptop around with her so how else is she supposed to take notes?

[@lilybee_]

Evidently, she used the laptop to take notes for everyone except Allen. I found that interesting.

[@beckyrivers1011]

As a therapist, I've never been told it is ok to shred any notes...especially if you are going to court with them. They will even subpoena your personal diaries and journals...

[@crystaldawn9255]

Not if somebody hasn't gone to trial it's not, and when it comes to anything to do with somebody's legal case nothing should be shredded even the police aren't allowed to shred their notes they go into the discovery even there a little sticky notes

[@cindystiles3151]

The defense is desperate at this point

[@nevadatan7323]

that's the strategy - focus on the seperate incidents and see evidence in isolation in order to detract from the overwhelming totality of evidence against RA. this case is far more than the sum of its parts, as with all investigations.

[@caroldoles6042]

He needs a major challenge of questioning. There’s more to it than what he’s saying.

[@tipsygypsy711]

I'm so glad we have you as our eyes and ears in this courtroom. There is one KZbinr in particular who I usually respect, but who seems to have been getting carried away with her personal bias and emotions and is not reporting objectivly on this case.

[@squeakybike]

Presomption of innocence is the only acceptable bias to have when following and reporting on trials. Lauren has an obvious pro prosecution bias so i think it is worth watching from both angles. The truth is somewhere in the middle and you have to make up your own mind and not be spoon fed an opinion.

[@dgatsf]

I’m really surprised that KZbin journalist and main media have not gone to court to have this case open to the public because the way it is now it is not open to the public. The judge is exceeding her authority.

[@shards0fwords]

They tried they did try

[@redcat9436]

This trial is open to the public. The courtroom is packed with reporters every day who are free to discuss the days events with an international audience.

[@matthewnewton8812]

That is literally not true. Her authority absolutely extends to what media and recording devices will be allowed in her courtroom, as long as it’s sufficiently public in nature. I don’t understand why people say things like this- you don’t like the way she’s doing things so you call it “exceeding her authority”. You just make that up and say it like it’s fact. If she were literally “exceeding her authority” the defense attorneys would have been all over that, screaming to the media that she was breaking the law, and they would have successfully appealed her decision. Isn’t that obvious?

[@mariac.9727]

There are actually people going legally after this judge and the judicial system in Indiana right now.

[@SpicyBeautifulDisaster]

My problem is the judge is telling witnesses to not use the mic. The trial is open to the public, but everyone in the gallery has trouble hearing, so can we be sure the trial is fair?

[@shannonm.4087]

please remember the corrections officer said other officers did not even want to sit w him on s-watch. That gives a clue that he was treated horribly by those who sat with him. He already had serious psychological issues- and torture can make people say things that are false. if this is all it takes to convict someone of something so serious, we are all in big trouble.

The officers didn’t want to sit with R.A. because of the way he was acting! He was eating his own feces. Who wants to deal with that for eight hours. This had nothing to do with the way he was treated in prison. It was his mental illness coming out. The same mental illness that caused him to murder two innocent young girls. It goes to show you how mentally unstable he is.

[@spreadyourbread]

One of the biggest problems with this trial is that Judge Gull has denied the release of the audio recordings and transcripts of the proceedings, which are public records maintained by the court.

[@marylou4324]

Imo, the biggest problem is the public's lack of patience. Also a general lack of understanding and respect for our justice system. A general societal influence to blame victims. I have faith in the jury. We just have to wait and see. And after the trial, they'll release what they can.

[@staceyeder322]

Regardless, no person should be in prison before a conviction. This should scare every American. Girls don't get justice that way.​@@marylou4324

[@juliecrane9647]

@@marylou4324 Yes ! All the reasons you've stated are why selecting a jury is the most difficult and important task for prosecutors and defense lawyers in any trial. Imo there are enough parts of his confession he wouldn't know if he wasn't there. The missing phone sways me too. If you've seen Gray Hughes' site, he has great visuals of the "moving parts" for that day. He began presenting his videos soon after this all happened. Wish this jury could view them or the DA has one similar. Maybe they have...we will see. I'm open to hearing the defense lawyers' case but it will need to be much more than RA was driven mad and made to confess by corrupt LE ppl.

[@Jess-on-the-Tube]

@@marylou4324 unfortunately, the handling of this case is actively eroding respect in the justice system. Whether Allen is innocent or guilty, it's been appalling (and everyone's right to a fair trial aside, who wants a guilty man to have a chance, however slim, at having a conviction thrown out for reasons that have nothing to do with the strength of case against him?). I'm not sure if those without a good understanding of the justice system appreciate just how irregular proceedings around this case have been. The more daylight on this one the better. Seems there's some folks in Indiana who need a little more respect for the justice system they're supposed to serve as agents of.

​@@juliecrane9647Grey Hughes? I wouldn't take his word on anything lol.

[@charlottesmith6131]

It seems SO intentional to not allow the public to hear/see stuff. It’s SO different than Judge Boyce! It’s casting doubt all over the case and guilty or not, the prosecution isn’t proving beyond doubt that he’s guilty. Even if it wasn’t a shady investigation, it SEEMS that way and perception is reality for the jury. Above all, we want justice and a fair trial. If I was a juror I wouldn’t be convinced at this point.

29:28: “willingly asked for a drug test” is not something I had heard from other recounts of testimony and I deeply appreciate you catching that nugget, Lauren. I’m not sure what date he said that but he was given involuntary injections of Haldol - which I understand can be necessary in some cases but coming out of that fog or remembering pieces of it… I’d be asking for the same drug testing. Could not have been a pleasant injection - especially knowing you had not yet been criminally convicted in a court of law by a jury of your peers… just simply accused & charged with the murder of 2 young girls. Good grief.
