Richard Allen Jury Deliberations Ongoing Amid High Interest

The jury in the trial of Richard Allen, accused of murdering teenagers Abigail Williams and Liberty German in Delphi, Indiana in 2017, has yet to reach a verdict after two days of deliberations. Allen, charged with multiple counts of murder, could face up to 130 years in prison if convicted. The prosecution argues that Allen is the 'Bridge Guy' seen in a video taken by one of the victims and highlights his alleged confessions, though the defense contends these were made under duress and without corroborating physical evidence. Jurors are considering complex evidence, including video footage, witness testimonies, and ballistic reports linking a bullet found at the scene to Allen's gun, although the defense disputes the reliability of these findings. Public interest in the case remains high, with community members and media gathered outside the courthouse, some showing support for the victims' families and others for Allen. Deliberations are set to continue as the community awaits a decision in this highly emotional and closely watched case.
