Richard Allen Trial for Delphi Murders Continues

Richard Allen, the suspect in the 2017 murders of teenagers Liberty German and Abigail Williams, allegedly confessed to the killings during a series of phone calls with his wife while incarcerated. In recordings played during his trial, Allen stated, 'I did it. I killed Abby and Libby,' but his wife Kathy expressed disbelief, insisting he was innocent. The prosecution has highlighted these confessions as key evidence, along with testimony from an Indiana State Police trooper who matched Allen's voice to that of the 'bridge guy' seen in a video recorded by one of the victims. Allen has pleaded not guilty and his defense argues that his mental state has deteriorated during 13 months of solitary confinement, suggesting that his confessions may not be reliable. Additional evidence includes an unused bullet matching a weapon found in Allen's home and details only the killer would know. The trial continues as the court examines the credibility of the confessions amid the broader context of the case.
