Richard Allen Trial Over Delphi Murders Continues

Richard Allen, accused of murdering Abigail Williams and Liberty German in 2017, is on trial where jurors have heard conflicting narratives about his actions and confessions. While Allen has consistently denied the charges during heated police interrogations, prison officials testified that he made several confessions while incarcerated, expressing remorse and detailing his actions. Former prison warden John Galipeau revealed that Allen confessed to the killings in a note and admitted to discarding a box cutter believed to be used in the murders. The prosecution claims Allen threatened the girls with a gun, while his defense argues that his confessions were coerced and that he was subjected to harsh treatment that negatively affected his mental health. The trial has included video footage of Allen's interrogations, marking the first time jurors have heard his voice, and evidence including an unspent round linked to his firearm. The case continues to unfold amid media coverage and public interest.
