Jury Deliberates in Delphi Double Murder Trial

The jury has begun deliberations in the trial of Richard Allen, accused of murdering teenagers Libby German and Abby Williams in Delphi, Indiana, in February 2017. Prosecutors have presented ballistics evidence and multiple confessions made by Allen during prison phone calls, while the defense argues that there is no DNA or weapon evidence linking him to the crime. A key piece of evidence, a 'mechanical fingerprint' on an unspent cartridge found at the scene, has been contested, with experts debating its connection to Allen's seized firearm. If convicted on all counts, Allen faces up to 130 years in prison. The trial has highlighted both the prosecution's emotional testimonies and the defense's challenges to the evidence presented. Jurors will weigh the prosecution's closing arguments against the defense's claims of a flawed case.
