A suspect in the murder of two teenagers in Delphi in Indiana appeared in court Tuesday, clad in a gun-resistant vest and in shackles. The prosecution raised the explosive question of whether he had acted alone.
“We believe Richard Allen is not the only actor involved in this,” According to the prosecution, the deaths of Libby German (and Abby Williams) were not accidental.
This news was announced at Tuesday’s bail hearing. Prosecutors said that information regarding the case must remain confidential because it is still under investigation.
Allen is charged with murdering his friends, Abby Williams (13 years) and Libby German (14 years), on a country road outside Delphi.
He pleaded guilty to the two murder charges.
According to his lawyer, people should not rush to judgment.
“Our client is the wrong guy,” said Andrew Baldwin, Allen’s defense attorney, WTHR TV. He further stated that the sealed probable causes affidavit was valid. “flimsy.”
“You expect more than what I saw,” He stated.
Allen wrote a letter handwritten to the judge stating that his wife was being “forced to immediately abandon employment… for her personal safety. she has had to abandon our house for her own safety.”
