First day of Delphi murders trial continues | 4 p.m. update, Oct. 18, 2024

[@chrismathis4162]

Can people wait to hear the evidence before they feel the need to say he is guilty or innocent.

[@slaws2279]

Reading about Libby’s grandmother crying on the stand and the last exchange she had with Libby broke my heart. 💔

[@nancyorkeithm1518]

That is BS the locals cannot get a seat.

[@Lady_Monet]

The family got 30 seats and media got 12. The rest is open to the public. People started lining up the night before to get in.

[@mercuryangel5632]

There is a lot of interest in this case, beyond the community. Sad that this is being project as some sort of entertainment, especially for the families who I am sure would prefer to have their girls back.

[@mr.c4p]

this is 1 of the biggest trials in history, for judge ghoul to refuse cameras and not even offer a closed circuit option to the locals is a real travesty !!! they deserve better, the victims deserve better !!! it's a disgrace !! she even had a fence installed around the courthouse so she can't be seen !!! guilty, shady people are all about hiding !!!

[@audreykassem8010]

I agree with that woman- the families neighbors that have been with them for years should have seats in the courtroom rather than people from out of town. The families need their support. I read that an attorney from across the states decided to come for her viewers and she gets a seat over the locals? Not right

[@Tryp-j9d]

BULLSH1T!!! DON’T you DOPES have ANY idea what a FAIR TRIAL is SUPPOSED to MEAN????

[@crimsonclover9365]

Poor people of delphi who are paying for this trial can't even seeit!

[@mckernan603]

The judge seems to be getting a little silly with the camera confiscation, this isn’t a mafia trial

[@Daily_Survivor]

You have no idea what the people in this town have been thru. They are trying to protect the jury from crazy people

[@shannonrusso3853]

Do you work in a courtroom? I do. Has nothing to do with the mafia or a big-name trial....it's procedure

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

Most trials don't have cameras.

[@Stoneabba9999]

Cameras should be allowed but not on jury.

[@iwearLingerie]

What a low iq comment

[@Tryp-j9d]

NONE of their relatives were WITNESSES!!

[@LostAndSortaHighVibes]

Her Grandmother was literally the first witness, what?

[@Sabrina_Serna]

Disgusted by this judge and law enforcement losing months of interviews. Yeah, he came forward and said he was wearing jeans and a blue jacket. Like 99 percent of men in that area.

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

Odin is a false God. Go away.

[@MLSPlatforms]

Only 99% didn’t confess 60 times

[@raptorman48]

That isn't true because I live in the area and dont dress like that guy at all not to mention the way he reported he was there on that trail was in a way he could fly under the radar and he almost got away with it before they caught on to him after two years of the case being cold until they went back a second time and reviewed all the evidence and realized he got overlooked!

[@finnsol]

Does anyone else think the judge is banning cameras because this is a cover-up for someone in law enforcement, and richard is a fall guy.

[@foxylady4556]

😂

[@Hi_Stacey]

No

[@raptorman48]

No most likely she is being a horses arse simply because of all the BS she has had to deal with from Allen's crooked attorneys!

[@d.haskins3840]

Jury supposed to anonymous

[@mercuryangel5632]

Too early to confirm guilt or innocent but I would like to hear exactly what RA was doing at the site when the girls were there, confessing with details only the killer would know is something I want to know, how did RA manage to live among the citizens and NO ONE said, hey, that looks like RA? I know what my husband's walk is and could pick him out of hundreds of people, there are only just over 3k people living there and 1/2 are women and many are kids! Strange but will have to wait to see how it all unfolds.

[@Kurt-x8v]

@mercuryangel5632 He confessed to being there to an officer years prior and was never followed up on, investigators dropped the ball in this one.

[@slaws2279]

He apparently, according to the defense, confessed to offing his grandkids, but he doesn’t even have any. What a mind f***.

[@raptorman48]

​@@slaws2279The guy has been putting on a crazy act since his arrest to get away with murder basically or maybe he just is crazy!

[@KrisCortez-NYJetsLife]

What the hell is up with this Judge?!? Anyways Justice for Libby and Abby❤

[@margaretneanover3385]

Prayers for the girls and their truth. . regardless the absence of full mouth first hand in as much as it is.

[@l.a.3479]

?

[@missbee1968]

What does that mean?

[@TraciBradley-i8k]

All court cases should be open to the public.

[@Lady_Monet]

It is! The judge gave 30 reserved seats to the family and 12 to media. The rest was public.

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

It is. Did Odin make you dumb?

[@Tryp-j9d]

But NOT ANY relatives or friends of EITHER the defendant OR the victims!!!! A TRIAL is SUPPOSED to be FAIR!!!!

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

@@Tryp-j9d HOW has IT not BEEN fair? I WOULD like TO know WHAT makes YOU think THIS trial HAS not BEEN fair? out OF curiosity, is THERE something WRONG with YOUR keyboard???? ALSO do YOU WORSHIP ODIN!!!!! YOU are GULLIBLES of SOMETHINGS? ODIN was A MUSLIM BRAH!!!

[@tizza963]

Unbelievable Gull didn’t allow cameras in the courtroom. Unacceptable. She should be ashamed

[@raptorman48]

He can't escape the lords final judgement in the end!

[@Ssmith75]

Richard got strong case against him I just hope he the guy so familys got closer but we don't want to find a guy guilty because 30 years from now don't want find a innocent guy guilty that be bad deal too

[@thebluerose4179]

So Libby started recording at 2:13pm but RA's phone data shows he was gone from the area at 2:15pm? Impossible for him to have murdered, undressed, and redressed them in under two minutes.

[@Acidandrain0]

No lol

[@thebluerose4179]

​@@Acidandrain0No what?

[@Acidandrain0]

@@thebluerose4179 they have no phone data from Allen

[@thebluerose4179]

​@Acidandrain0 Not sure why my comment keeps being deleted but yes, they do. It's been reported by ABC. You can search for the article titled "New details revealed in Delphi girls' double murder as opening arguments begin"

[@Lady_Monet]

Duh, he lived less than 2 miles away. Even if they had his phone, he lived in the area. Smh

[@BrandyinIndy]

Guilty! Look at Totality of All evidence as trial progresses.

[@willytaylor1940]

His DNA was not found at the scene! 100% INNOCENT!

[@NorwegianMuse]

That doesn’t mean shit.

[@AliceWilson-w9m]

​@@NorwegianMuseit means a lot if you think about it. How can he be that close to them without leaving a shred of DNA evidence? It's impossible. Something from him should have been on their bodies and/or all around them. I believe they did find DNA but it's not from Richard Allen. And that's why they want to keep it a secret.

[@BrandyinIndy]

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@AliceWilson-w9m]

@@NorwegianMuse it means that his DNA wasn't found which is huge. And do you know that another man from the area asked the police "If my saliva was found on one of the girls would that be a problem for me?" What do you think about that comment?

[@JayBee-cr8jm]

@@AliceWilson-w9m Why do you worship Odin? Do you know how stupid you look?

[@Haven_OG]

He's guilty; he wore the same outfit, was there the same day and time, was seen by witnesses, parked across the interstate, and walked a long way to get there instead of parking where normal people park, to watch the "fish swim." (SUS?!) Looks identical to the guy in the video footage, walks the same, and verbally sounds the exact same. He knew information that ONLY the killer knew, how did he know that information if it wasn't him? The bullet found near their bodies, came from his gun. Out of ALL that land out there...what are the ODDS of it being next to them? Think about it. The reasonable doubt is the (hair) but come on that doesn't mean there wasn't more than one involved, he definitely was.

[@alliegator69able]

Damn Right!!!!!

[@b.a.m.5078]

I sincerely hope you're never on a jury.

[@Haven_OG]

@@b.a.m.5078 Same with you, if you think otherwise 🤡

[@Haven_OG]

@@b.a.m.5078 You do understand that he admitted to what he wore before any information on the bridge guy was released right? You also are aware that he stated facts that WERE NOT public information about the crime scene, right? His bullet was found near their bodies, what are the odds of it being found near their bodies in the vast miles of land? You're delusional or very misinformed if you think he's not guilty.

[@willytaylor1940]

Then why was his DNA not found at the scene dummy?

[@jimgreen4355]

Why is there a trial ? I thought he confessed

[@MrsGypsumFantastic]

Yeah but then he said I didn’t mean to confess, I was mad.

[@kay_el_eff]

@@MrsGypsumFantastic he was in the middle of a psychotic break. The man was eating his own feces. He also said that he shot them and did other things to them, neither of which are true. Then he "confessed" to killing his family and grandchildren, again, not true.

[@mercuryangel5632]

He did confess, many, many times. I would love to hear exactly what he confessed to and how he killed those poor girls.

[@kay_el_eff]

@@mercuryangel5632 he "confessed" to shooting them and doing things to them.. neither are true. He also confessed to kiIIing others - his family - also not true. The man went through a psychotic break and was literally eating his own feces.

[@AliceWilson-w9m]

Something that concerns me about that bullet is why was it under the ground? There's a shooting range nearby and people commonly go hunting in the area. If that bullet was in the soil because it had been buried over time, that means it had been there for years. I wonder is that why they don't want to show the bullet, it's because it's rusted and old. That might also be why it failed one of the tests when it was in a laboratory. It probably couldn't be fired because it's old. Richard Allen is innocent.

[@63Clocks]

Misinformation. The casing was not "underground"

[@AliceWilson-w9m]

@@63Clocks okay let's say that it wasn't. If it hasn't been fired there's no rifling. You CAN'T match it to any gun. Anybody that shoots in that area or hunts wild game could have left that bullet. And what's odd is that a 40. caliber bullet is more typically associated with law enforcement...

[@SAHamel_]

do you know for a fact that people go hunting there? I had read it was private property. So I ask.

[@l.a.3479]

​@@AliceWilson-w9mIt was matched to Richard Allen's gun.
