Testimony continues on Day 6 of Delphi murders trial

These doofus cops …. What a bunch of hicks

[@JoJo-vz5uy]

Great reporting! Thank you

[@bobbsmith1959]

Amazing. A file clerk had more common sense than hundreds of FBi and law enforcement assigned to the case. They would still be making speeches without a clue if not for the file clerk. How many times did the Chief say when they come to a dead end, they started over from the beginning. They were just gulping down as much overtime as they could get.

Lol, he will be found not guilty because he is NOT guilty.

The trial of Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders, has sparked significant public debate, with concerns about his treatment and the strength of the evidence against him. My points reflect frustrations from those who believe that Allen is being unjustly accused and that the case is being mishandled, particularly in regard to the legal processes, evidence preservation, and his treatment while incarcerated. Several key issues raised include: Lack of Direct Evidence: According to Allen's defense and public commentary, there is no DNA, fingerprint, or other forensic evidence directly linking him to the murders of Abby and Libby, despite years of investigation and the collection of significant physical evidence from the crime scene. Flaws in the Investigation: The claim that vital interview recordings were "accidentally deleted" in the early days of the investigation raises serious concerns about how the investigation was handled. The absence of clear records of witness statements, combined with deleted interviews and missing reports, is troubling. Exculpatory Evidence and Alternative Suspects: Allen's defenders argue that much of the evidence uncovered during the investigation points to alternate suspects. Yet, these leads appear to have been overlooked or not properly investigated, according to defense filings. Confessions and Mental State: Allen’s reported confessions, allegedly made under the influence of drugs while in a state of psychosis, add another layer of complexity. Such confessions are generally regarded with suspicion in legal proceedings due to questions about their reliability, particularly when the confessions do not contain verifiable details of the crime. Psychological and Physical Conditions: The conditions of Allen’s imprisonment-particularly solitary confinement for 23 hours a day and being involuntarily medicated-raise ethical and human rights concerns. The prolonged stress, alongside withdrawal from long-term medication, has seemingly contributed to his deteriorating mental health. Precedent and Constitutional Concerns: Many supporters of Allen emphasize the broader implications of his case, particularly with regard to constitutional rights. They believe that the prosecution's handling of the case could set a dangerous precedent where individuals could face severe punishment or imprisonment with insufficient evidence. Justice for the Victims: While it’s clear that the community deeply mourns Abby and Libby, there’s a growing sentiment that true justice means identifying and convicting the right person, rather than rushing to prosecute someone who may not be involved. In high-profile cases like this, public opinion can become polarized, but it’s crucial that the judicial process follows due process to ensure that justice is served both for the victims and the accused. The defense's efforts to raise questions about the investigation, as well as calls for transparency in handling evidence and alternative suspects, highlight the complexity of the case. Ultimately, the court proceedings will have to address these concerns to ensure that justice is achieved in a fair and thorough manner.

This is precisely why we have a justice system and rights to attorneys. His defense team will have to do one heck of a job chipping away at the prosecution. This is a tiny jurisdiction and I knew there would be massive failures. However I think it has gone for the defense so far. The prosecution has done terribly at addressing the inconsistency of their witnesses. But, saying “it’s over” does note bode well for Allen.

[@donnacaldwell3267]

If he gets off, he’ll be hiding for the rest of his life because there are people out there who will not be able to accept it. Personally, I believe he’s guilty.

[@emmatinsley9364]

You mean what Richard said

[@TheGameHHH2000]

He did not kill

The Only thing that matters is the Bridge Guy. Recorded on Libby’s phone. He is the Main Character.

That legal analysis is on defense side I can’t take her serious

[@KyleTMcN]

She has way more expertise than you. If you have even the most basic knowledge of criminal law you’d appreciate that this is one of the worst investigations and prosecutions of murder ever publicized.

[@audreydaleski1067]

Such horrible violence. He is bridgeman.

[@moisesmontecillo7570]

Prove it

[@DonFonzarelli-uq9yx]

People that were at the trial and saw the whole vid, said BG might not even be involved. He was nearly on other side of bridge and when the words down the hill came out, it wad likely someone close to the girls. RA is innocent. He will either be found not guilty, or have a hung jury. No way he gets convicted.

[@beentheredonethat8686]

@@DonFonzarelli-uq9yxif that’s the case, then why hasn’t the “bridge guy” who might not be involved, came forward and simple said “thats me”. He surely would’ve seen the girls and anyone ELSE right?

[@DonFonzarelli-uq9yx]

@beentheredonethat8686 If you paid any attrntion to the actual trial, and people sleeping on the courthouse steps to make it in, because only 24 of public are allowed in, you would understand what i mean that bridge guy might not be involved. I will summarize, BG shows up in like 2 frames of the vid. The actual vid, not the one that has been edited by law enforcement. The actual vid is played in court, and BG is waaaaaay farther away than the vid we have all seen over and over. Abby says something like, but there is no trail here, as whoever said down the hill, with BG way on down the bridge, not close at all. So Bridge Guy, was not, most likely who told them to go down the hill. It was someone up close, and not really audible. As far as why the real BG had not come forward, maybe he doesnt even know people are looking for him. Every juror had to have no knowledge of the case, so there are people out there that just dont follow the news. But no matter. RA does NOT fit description of any of the states witnesses who saw bridge guy. They have all testified at his trial.

[@Wizard-q1w]

@@beentheredonethat8686EXACTLY. These dummi*35 just throw reasoning like that completely OUT THE DOOR. The ironic thing is BG did come forward and say he was there, but no one wants to believe him. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@samanthaschaffer1214]

I just wanna say how dumb this dude is if he really did the murders, why on earth would he keep the gun if it was used during the crime? Personally that would be the first thing I would get rid of that gun if it was me and wouldn't talk to investigators i think the guilt was eating at him or he was curious what the police already knew and was trying to get information or find out what was going on!

[@BSLAP0024]

Bridge guy is RON LOGAN

[@frankieandkristentravel]

Is not lol You can listen to him talk in interviews not him. I heard RA's voice on a video his wife posted before it was taken down , and it sounds just like bridge guy. It is not RL!!!

[@raptorman48]

The. Video recording of BG is RA how stupid can people be its as plain as day and should be the only evidence needed are people blind??? Imagine if this was your child and the evidence just gets ignored and distorted when its right there in plain sight!

[@moisesmontecillo7570]

Naah I can't tell tbh it kinda looks like my neighbor more than Allen should I report him?

[@raptorman48]

@@moisesmontecillo7570 Allen looked different at the time I seen his older photographs before they were deleted off Facebook!

[@DonFonzarelli-uq9yx]

BG prob not even involved. And all descriptions of bridge guy, by the states own witnesses, look absolutely nothing like richard allen. And NONE of them said RA is the man on the bridge, not 1.

[@Wizard-q1w]

@@DonFonzarelli-uq9yxSo why hasn’t he come forward?

[@1997thatperson]

@@DonFonzarelli-uq9yxwhy would Libby’s last act be recording BG if he wasn’t involved

[@marcellasimone1998]

To be honest, I don't think they have enough evidene to prove Allen murdered the girls. It is very likely he DID but just because an unspent bullet was found there does not prove he killed them. Secondly, conflicting eye witness accounts about seeing "a young man in his 20s" does not help. Bridge guy looks like Allen to me but just thinking that is not enough to put him in prison. I hope the jury gets it right and justice is done for Abby and Libby.

[@Aboma2012]

I am sorry I agree and disagree. I knew at first he was the wrong guy. There was no any circumstantial evidence against him that shows Allen doing any vile things online or in person to any women. He was respected person and hard working man. The state really rushed to prosecute someone so they can be done. This girls need justice and the family deserves justice but it doesn’t mean wrong person should prison time

[@raptorman48]

He was recorded on video telling them to go down the hill what more could they possibly need???

[@Valpo2004]

​@@raptorman48 You can't positively I'd that as him.

[@Valpo2004]

Another issue is at least one witness said bridge guy was tall but the most striking feature about Allen is just how short he is. My wife is 4 inches taller than him, my 9 year old is only about 5 to 6 inches shorter than this grown man.

@emmatinsley9364 he did it because he did it? Or he did it because prosecution says he did it? You sure are going to be suprised when the jury, who heard all the evjdence finds him not guilty. And only reason you think he is guilty is because prosecution twisted virtually all the facts of this case, and sold a load of huey to the medis.

[@beentheredonethat8686]
