Richard Allen Trial Unveils New Evidence and Theories

The trial of Richard Allen, accused of the 2017 murders of teenagers Liberty German and Abigail Williams in Delphi, Indiana, has revealed new insights and evidence. Allen, who reported being near the crime scene shortly after the murders, was not pursued as a suspect until a volunteer uncovered his information in 2022. Key testimony includes forensic evidence linking a gun found in Allen's home to a bullet near the crime scene, and detailed accounts of the girls' injuries, which were displayed in court. The defense argues Allen's innocence, suggesting alternative theories including a ritual sacrifice, while questioning the integrity of the investigation and evidence handling. Jurors have also heard about Allen's initial interviews with police and a video found on German's phone. The trial continues to captivate the small town, drawing significant public and media attention.
