Richard Allen's Attorneys Appeal Delphi Murders Conviction

Richard Allen, convicted in November for the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams, has filed an appeal against his 130-year sentence. The appeal was officially submitted to the Indiana Court of Appeals, with Allen's attorneys citing several alleged errors during the trial, including questions about the timeline of the murders. Libby's family has expressed their desire for Allen to accept his conviction and stop pursuing the appeal, stating that it continues to cause them pain. The appeal follows the recent release of a 43-second video recorded by Libby prior to the murders, which shows a man believed to be the killer. Allen's legal team is currently awaiting a notice of completion from the Carroll County Clerk's Office, which is necessary for the appeal process to proceed. The case has drawn significant attention due to the tragic nature of the crimes and the lengthy investigation that led to Allen's arrest in 2022.
