Richard Allen's Defense Seeks New Delphi Murder Trial

Richard Allen's defense team has filed a Motion to Correct Errors, aiming to overturn his conviction for the 2017 Delphi murders of Abby Williams and Libby German. The motion highlights four main issues: the legality of Allen's transfer to the Indiana Department of Corrections, false testimony regarding a white van's presence, a potential confession from another suspect, and forensic concerns about Libby German's phone. The defense argues that these points, including procedural deficiencies and new evidence, are significant enough to warrant a new trial. Richard Allen was sentenced to 130 years in prison after being convicted in November 2024. The appeal process is in its early stages, with Allen's legal team challenging the integrity of the evidence and trial proceedings.
