Richard Allen Convicted of Murdering Teens in Delphi

A jury in Delphi, Indiana, has convicted Richard Allen of murder in the 2017 killings of two teenage girls, Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14. After four days of deliberation, Allen was found guilty on all counts, including two counts of murder and two counts of felony murder during attempted kidnapping, which could result in a sentence of up to 130 years in prison. The prosecution presented evidence linking Allen to the crime, including a bullet from his gun found at the scene and a grainy video showing him following the girls. Despite Allen's claims of mental instability during his confessions, jurors ultimately sided with the prosecution's narrative of his guilt. The case has garnered significant media attention and public interest, highlighting the tragic nature of the crime and the long pursuit of justice. Allen was arrested in 2022, five years after the girls' bodies were discovered near a hiking trail.
