Will Prosecutions Destroyed Evidence FREE Richard Allen?

Will Prosecutions Destroyed Evidence FREE Richard Allen?

In a case already mired in controversy and confusion, the Delphi murder investigation has hit another nerve-wracking point. Richard Allen, accused of the heinous double homicide of Abby Williams and Libby German, finds his defense team grappling with the revelation of key evidence being inadvertently destroyed. This latest development raises daunting questions about the integrity of the legal process and the pursuit of justice in Delphi, Indiana.

The situation unfolded when Allen's attorneys filed a motion revealing that video and audio recordings of potential suspects had been erased due to a DVR program error, effectively obliterating crucial evidence that could potentially exculpate Allen or direct suspicion elsewhere. The error, dating back to February 20, 2017, eradicated interviews conducted in the immediate aftermath of the murders, including those of individuals identified as Odinists, further complicating an already complex case.

This bombshell revelation has not only shocked the community but has also brought into sharp focus the actions of Judge Frances Gull, who has remained a polarizing figure throughout the proceedings. Despite the Indiana Supreme Court's unanimous decision to deny Allen's request for Judge Gull's disqualification, the recent disclosure of lost evidence puts her under renewed scrutiny.

Eric Faddis, a former felony prosecutor and attorney, shared his astonishment and concern with Tony Brueski on the "Hidden Killers" podcast. Faddis highlighted the potential significance of the lost recordings, emphasizing the defense's obligation to explore alternate suspects. "This is so absurd," Faddis remarked, pointing out the gravity of the situation and its implications for Allen's defense.

The destruction of evidence, whether accidental or not, introduces a "spoliation issue," according to Faddis. This legal principle suggests that the jury, if the case goes to trial, could infer the prosecution's negligence unfavorably, potentially influencing the outcome. Yet, Faddis expressed skepticism that the case would be dismissed solely on these grounds, advocating instead for a jury instruction that could allow them to consider the loss of evidence against the prosecution.

The case's twists and turns have fueled widespread speculation and debate, with some wondering about the broader implications of such errors on the legal system's credibility. The question of Judge Gull's impartiality, given her history with the case and the recent developments, looms large, further complicating an already intricate legal battle.

Amidst this tumult, the quest for truth and justice seems increasingly besieged by human error and systemic flaws. The loss of potentially exculpatory evidence not only hampers Allen's defense but also undermines public confidence in the judicial process. As the community and the nation watch closely, the case against Richard Allen continues to be as much about the pursuit of justice for Abby Williams and Libby German as it is about the integrity of the legal system that seeks to serve them.

As this legal drama unfolds, one can't help but ponder: In the quest for justice, how many more twists can this case endure before the truth is either revealed or forever obscured?

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Breaks Down The Initial Delphi Police Interrogation of Richard Allen

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Breaks Down The Initial Delphi Police Interrogation of Richard Allen

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott Breaks Down The Initial Delphi Police Interrogation of Richard Allen How do you get a man to confess to something he didn’t do? Easy—just throw every shady interrogation tactic in the book at him and hope something sticks. When Richard Allen was brought in for questioning about the alleged Delphi murders of Abby and Libby, the detectives didn’t exactly hold back. They leaned hard into psychological warfare: outdated Law & Order tricks, misleading “evidence,” and emotional manipulation that made it feel more like a 1950s TV drama than a modern investigation. With no confession and no solid evidence, they just kept pushing. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to analyze the interrogation—clip by painful clip. What does it do to someone’s mind when they’re accused of something horrific, and they know they didn’t do it? How do cops justify dragging someone to the edge of a breakdown just to close a case? And at what point does this stop looking like an investigation and start looking like a setup? Is Richard Allen really just an ordinary guy caught in the worst kind of nightmare? #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #PoliceInterrogation #WrongfulAccusation #HiddenKillers #ShavaunScott Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Richard Allen Interrogated: The First Time the Public Sees Him Speak PART 2

Richard Allen Interrogated: The First Time the Public Sees Him Speak PART 2

Richard Allen Interrogated: The First Time the Public Sees Him Speak PART 2 You Got One Piece of Evidence I Can’t Explain The public is finally hearing the voice of Richard Allen—the man convicted of murdering Abby Williams and Libby German—for the first time, and what he says is as chilling as it is revealing. Newly released videos from YouTuber Tom Webster expose a window into Allen’s world just before and just after his arrest. What starts as firm denial slowly spirals into something a whole lot darker. Allen, sentenced to 130 years in December for the 2017 murders of 13-year-old Abby and 14-year-old Libby, managed to fly under the radar for over five years. Then, on October 26, 2022, he was arrested. But two weeks before that, on October 13, investigators brought him in for questioning. And that interrogation, which is now public, begins with Allen trying to stay cool under pressure. He admits he was on the Monon High Bridge the same day the girls vanished. Not a great start. But when pushed further, he flat-out denies any involvement. The cops didn’t hold back either. At one point, Carroll County Prosecutor’s Office Investigator Steve Mullin throws out a brutal accusation: Either Allen did this to the girls himself, or he helped someone else do it. That’s when Allen pushes back. Hard. “Good luck finding anything that points in that direction,” he says. “You’re not going to make me believe it’s me.” In hindsight, it’s a strange thing to say. He doesn’t say “I didn’t do it” with confidence. Instead, it’s “you’re not going to make me believe it’s me.” Like he’s arguing with his own reflection. By the time we get to the second video—recorded the day of his arrest—the tone changes. Investigators have an unspent bullet found at the crime scene, and it matches a gun owned by Allen. He’s still in denial, but now, it sounds desperate. “There is no way that evidence is going to show that I did this,” Allen insists. But the police aren’t backing down either. ISP Investigator Jerry Holeman is blunt: “It’s right f---ing here, Rick.” Allen's response? “You got one piece of evidence I can’t explain.” And Holeman hits back with: “I got multiple pieces. Multiple. I’m not showing you my whole f---ing hand here.” It’s a poker game with two people holding very different cards. And it becomes clear Allen knows he's losing. Then come the prison phone calls. Eight of them, between November 2022 and June 2023, shared publicly for the first time. In those calls, Allen talks to his wife and his mother, and that’s where things start unraveling. These aren’t emotional breakdowns or cryptic metaphors—these are confessions. Clear, damning, and hard to walk back. They were played during the trial, but the public never got to hear them until now. Still, Allen’s legal team claims those confessions weren’t given voluntarily. Maybe it was the stress, the isolation, the realization that there’s no way out. Maybe it was all three. But that’s the story they’re sticking to. In March, Allen’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal. They’re trying to undo what the jury decided—that Allen is the man who took two young girls' lives on a cold February day in Delphi. But with videos of him talking before the arrest, and recordings of him admitting guilt afterward, it’s going to be a tough mountain to climb. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrimePodcast #AbbyAndLibby Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down The Highly Unprofessional & Cruel Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott

Breaking Down The Highly Unprofessional & Cruel Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott

Breaking Down The Highly Unprofessional & Cruel Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen With Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott What if the only thing tying someone to a murder scene is a single unspent bullet—and the supposed match is based on science that’s barely admissible in court? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the second interrogation of alleged Delphi killer Richard Allen, and it’s a rough watch. With no digital history, no witnesses, and no prior criminal record, the prosecution’s big move is a bullet found at the crime scene—but only after cops had already taken Allen’s gun. Makes you wonder which came first: the evidence or the need for a suspect? Allen stays shockingly consistent under pressure, even when investigators start dragging his wife and daughter into the emotional line of fire. From manipulated family confrontations to outright lies about expert witnesses, the whole thing feels more like a psychological beatdown than an actual interrogation. How do you defend yourself when the system already seems convinced you’re guilty? Is this justice—or just desperation? #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #TrueCrimePodcast #PoliceInterrogation #WrongfulConviction #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 3

Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 3

Breaking Down The Delphi Police Interrogation Of Richard Allen Part 3 The interrogation practices employed in the Richard Allen case, a key element of the Delphi murders investigation, raise profound ethical and procedural questions that extend beyond the specifics of this investigation, potentially impacting the integrity of the criminal justice system as a whole. The reported use of deceptive tactics to initiate contact and questioning undermines the fundamental principles of transparency and trust between law enforcement and individuals. The ambiguous application of Miranda rights highlights the fragility of these crucial legal protections and the potential for them to be undermined during intense interrogation, impacting an individual's ability to make informed decisions about their legal rights. Furthermore, the alleged use of false evidence claims and threats underscores the inherent power imbalance within interrogation settings and the significant risk of eliciting unreliable statements under duress. The apparent presumption of guilt and the use of leading questions illustrate the inherent dangers of confirmation bias in investigative processes, potentially skewing the pursuit of truth in the Delphi investigation. Ultimately, a thorough examination of these interrogation methods is crucial not only for understanding the specifics of this case but also for safeguarding against wrongful convictions and ensuring that justice is administered fairly and equitably for all members of society involved in the Delphi murders and beyond.
