Bob Motta On How The State Will Try To Prove Richard Allen Is the Delphi Murderer
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the complex legal challenges in the case against Richard Allen, accused of the Delphi murders. The conversation focuses on the prosecution's strategy, which hinges on Allen’s prison confessions, the presence of an unspent casing allegedly linked to his gun, and his admission of being at the crime scene. Motta emphasizes the difficulty the prosecution will face in proving Allen's guilt, particularly since he has no criminal history or suspicious behavior. He suggests that the defense should concentrate on dismantling the prosecution's evidence, especially the forensic link between the casing and Allen's gun, which Motta believes is "junk science." He also discusses the risks of the defense presenting a third-party culprit theory, as it could confuse the jury by introducing competing narratives. Instead, Motta advocates focusing on phone data, which might offer a stronger basis for reasonable doubt by undermining the prosecution's timeline. He warns that relying too heavily on speculative theories could backfire, and urges a strategic approach centered on discrediting the state’s evidence. **Main Points:** - Discussion on the prosecution's reliance on Richard Allen’s confessions, the unspent casing, and his admission of being at the scene. - Motta critiques the forensic evidence linking the casing to Allen’s gun, labeling it as "junk science." - The potential pitfalls of introducing a third-party culprit theory, which might confuse the jury. - Suggestion that the defense should focus on phone data to challenge the prosecution’s timeline. - Concerns about the reliability of geofence data and its impact on the case. - The importance of presenting credible and compelling expert witnesses for the defense. - The overall strategy for the defense should be to undermine the prosecution’s key evidence rather than relying on speculative theories. **Hashtags:** #RichardAllen #BobMotta #DelphiMurders #ForensicEvidence #ThirdPartyCulprit #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Why Were There No Signs Of Richard Allen Being The Delphi Murderer Prior To Arrest?
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Dr. John Delatorre explores the complexities of the Richard Allen case, where Allen is accused of a horrific crime without any clear prior indicators of violent behavior. The conversation delves into the lack of a digital footprint or past behaviors that typically signal a predisposition to such acts, which raises questions about Allen's sudden alleged involvement. Dr. Delatorre compares Allen's situation to other notorious criminals like Dennis Rader (BTK) and Bryan Kohberger, suggesting that if Allen were guilty, there should have been warning signs or a history of similar behaviors. The discussion also addresses the challenge prosecutors face in presenting a motive, especially when there seems to be no evident pattern of deviant behavior in Allen's past. The episode emphasizes the importance of evidence, such as internet search histories or other digital traces, that could offer insight into Allen's mindset, which so far appear to be absent. This absence complicates the case and leaves many questions unanswered, with the upcoming trial expected to reveal more details. ### Main Points - Richard Allen is accused of a crime without a clear prior history or digital footprint that would typically indicate a predisposition to such acts. - Dr. Delatorre discusses the improbability of Allen suddenly committing such a crime without prior indicators, comparing him to other criminals like Dennis Rader and Bryan Kohberger. - The conversation raises questions about whether Allen might have a hidden history or if the accusations are unfounded. - The prosecution may struggle to establish a motive, as there seems to be no clear pattern of deviant behavior in Allen's past. - The absence of a digital footprint or any suspicious behavior in Allen's history complicates the case. - The lack of evidence, such as internet search histories, leaves the case shrouded in uncertainty. - The upcoming trial is expected to reveal more details, potentially shedding light on Allen's involvement. ### Hashtags #RichardAllen #JohnDelatorre #BryanKohberger #TrueCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

From CVS To Solitary Confinement, The Case Against Richard Allen & The Delphi Murders
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Tony discusses the perplexing case against Richard Allen, the man accused of being the Delphi murderer, with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke. Allen has allegedly made over 60 confessions during his 22 months in custody, but the circumstances raise questions about their validity. Dreeke explains that Allen was in a highly distressed state, isolated in solitary confinement, and reportedly engaging in extreme behaviors such as eating paper and feces. The crime scene does not match the profile of a typical single-perpetrator crime, and there is no evidence of stalking or sexual assault. Dreeke highlights that false confessions can result from intense interrogations and psychological pressure, particularly on individuals with mental health challenges. He also notes that Allen’s behavior does not align with the characteristics of a sexual predator or stalker, casting further doubt on the confessions. The conversation underscores the need to examine the facts thoroughly in court to determine the truth amidst the conflicting information. **Main Points:** - Richard Allen has allegedly made over 60 confessions during 22 months in custody under extreme conditions. - The crime scene does not fit the profile of a typical single-perpetrator, sexually motivated murder. - False confessions can result from intense interrogations and psychological pressure. - Allen’s behavior does not align with that of a sexual predator or stalker. - There is no evidence of a motive or triggering event for the alleged crime. - The case requires thorough examination in court to determine the truth amidst conflicting information. - Allen’s defense has significant material to challenge the validity of the confessions. #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #RobinDreeke #TonyBrueski #FalseConfessions #BehavioralAnalysis #MentalHealth Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

With No Motive Or History, Why Would Richard Allen Be The Delphi Murderer?
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the significant challenges in the case against Richard Allen, the alleged perpetrator of the Delphi murders. The conversation highlights the importance of digital evidence, particularly the lack of incriminating content on Allen's phone or computers that would connect him to the crime or the victims. Despite this, the prosecution relies heavily on Allen's prison confessions, which occurred under questionable conditions, and the presence of an unspent casing linked to his gun, a piece of evidence Motta criticizes as "junk science." Motta emphasizes the difficulties the defense faces, particularly in countering public skepticism about mental illness and false confessions. He also notes the potential for a significant lawsuit against the authorities if Allen is acquitted, drawing parallels to other high-profile cases. The discussion touches on the intense legal battle expected during the trial, with differing strategies among Allen's defense team members on whether to focus on forensic evidence or pursue third-party culpability theories. **Main Points:** - Importance of digital evidence and the absence of incriminating content on Richard Allen's devices. - The prosecution's reliance on Allen’s prison confessions and the unspent casing as key evidence. - Criticism of the forensic evidence linking the casing to Allen's gun as unreliable. - The challenge of convincing jurors about the validity of false confessions, especially in light of public skepticism about mental illness. - Potential for a major lawsuit against the authorities if Allen is acquitted. - The intense legal battle expected in the trial, with different strategies within the defense team. - The judge's approach to allowing thorough litigation during pre-trial hearings, with some third-party evidence potentially being admitted. **Hashtags:** #RichardAllen #BobMotta #DelphiMurders #DigitalEvidence #FalseConfessions #ForensicScience #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Delphi Confession; Would You Believe A Confession From Someone Eating Their Own Poo?
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Dr. John Delatorre discusses the perplexing case of Richard Allen, who, after being placed in solitary confinement, confessed to killing two young girls over 60 times. The conversation explores the psychological impact of solitary confinement, which can lead to severe mental deterioration and bizarre behaviors, such as Allen's confessions. Dr. Delatorre explains that while such extreme conditions can push someone to confess, it doesn't necessarily mean the confessions are true. The case is further complicated by the lack of digital evidence or prior history that would suggest Allen had violent tendencies, making his sudden transformation from a family man to a supposed killer hard to reconcile. Dr. Delatorre debunks the idea that people "snap" without warning, suggesting that any violent act would have been preceded by deep-rooted fantasies that eventually led to real-world actions. The discussion raises questions about the true nature of Allen's involvement and whether his actions were genuinely impulsive or the result of a long-standing psychological build-up. ### Main Points - Richard Allen's 60 confessions during solitary confinement raise concerns about the psychological effects of such conditions. - Solitary confinement can lead to severe mental breakdowns, resulting in abnormal behaviors and confessions. - There is no clear digital evidence or history suggesting Allen had violent tendencies, making his sudden transformation puzzling. - Dr. Delatorre emphasizes that people do not "snap" without warning; violent acts are typically preceded by long standing fantasies. - The case's complexity lies in determining whether Allen's confessions are genuine or a product of psychological distress. - The lack of evidence and the theatrical nature of the case suggest it could be dramatized in future true crime media. - The conversation highlights the importance of examining the psychological factors behind confessions made under duress. ### Hashtags #RichardAllen #JohnDelatorre #PsychologicalImpact #SolitaryConfinement #TrueCrime #JusticeSystem Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Will Delphi Accused Richard Allen's 60+ Confessions Seal His Fate?
In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discusses the ongoing case against Richard Allen, the alleged Delphi murderer. Coffindaffer addresses the complexities surrounding Allen's numerous confessions during his 22 months in custody, questioning their validity given his deteriorating mental state. Allen was held in extreme conditions, including solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, which Coffindaffer argues could drive anyone to madness.

How Did Libby German's Phone Turn Back On Well After The Delphi Murders?
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta delves into the complexities surrounding the Richard Allen case, where Allen is accused of being the Delphi murderer. With Allen’s numerous confessions during his 22 months in custody, the defense faces challenges, particularly with the state's motion to exclude third-party culpability from being introduced in court. Motta discusses how the defense presented their case, including testimony from a seasoned expert who believes the crime scene resembled a ritualistic killing, though the state's cross-examination emphasized the lack of concrete evidence linking other suspects to the crime scene. A critical point in the discussion is the phone data from Liberty German’s phone, which unexpectedly activated at 4:33 AM, hours after the alleged time of death. Motta suggests that this phone data could significantly undermine the prosecution's timeline, offering the defense a powerful angle. He argues that the defense should focus on this data rather than pursuing the third-party theory, which may be harder to substantiate. The episode also touches on the difficulties of investigating the case so many years after the crime and the potential implications of Allen’s behavior and confessions while in custody. **Main Points:** - Discussion on the Richard Allen case and the ongoing legal battle surrounding it. - The state's motion to exclude third-party culpability and the defense's efforts to link other suspects to the crime. - Testimony from an expert suggesting a ritualistic killing, contrasted with the state's effective cross-examination. - Liberty German's phone data showing unexpected activity at 4:33 AM, potentially undermining the prosecution's timeline. - Bob Motta advises the defense to focus on the phone data as the most compelling evidence. - The challenges of investigating the case after so many years and the significance of Allen’s confessions. - The court's decision to move Richard Allen to a different facility for the duration of the trial. **Hashtags:** #RichardAllen #BobMotta #DelphiMurders #LibertyGerman #DefenseDiaries #PhoneData #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
