Delphi Murder Case- Did Richard Allen's Therapist Violate Rules?
In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the controversy surrounding Dr. Monica Walla, a therapist involved in the Delphi murder case against Richard Allen. Walla, who treated Allen while he was detained, has come under scrutiny for her behavior, particularly her fascination with the Delphi case and her social media activity. Allen's defense team argues that Walla's personal interest in the case and her online conduct compromised her professional objectivity and violated ethical obligations. Scott highlights the ethical gray areas surrounding therapists and internet use, noting that while curiosity is natural, professional boundaries must be maintained. She suggests that Walla's actions, such as posting about the case on Facebook and looking up information on a person of interest, might have crossed those boundaries. The conversation touches on broader concerns about social media's impact on legal proceedings and the potential repercussions for therapists who fail to maintain professional distance. Scott also reflects on the possible implications for Allen's case, suggesting that these controversies could become significant points in appeals or further legal challenges. - Shavaun Scott discusses the controversy involving Dr. Monica Walla, a therapist in Richard Allen's case. - Walla's fascination with the Delphi murders and her social media activity have raised ethical concerns. - The defense argues that Walla's behavior compromised her ability to provide objective care to Allen. - Scott highlights the ethical gray areas surrounding therapists' use of social media and internet searches. - Concerns about maintaining professional boundaries and avoiding conflicts of interest are emphasized. - The discussion explores how these controversies could impact the Delphi murder case and future appeals. - Social media's influence on legal proceedings and professional ethics in therapy are central themes. #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #MonicaWalla #ShavaunScott #TherapistEthics #SocialMediaImpact #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Why Does The Defense Of the Accused Delphi Murderer Have A Problem With A Psychologist?'
In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Laurie Gilbertson discusses the complexities surrounding the upcoming trial of Richard Allen, who is accused of multiple murders. A central issue is the role of Dr. Monica Walla, a therapist who treated Allen while he was detained. The defense argues that Walla's involvement and her social media activity about the case compromise her objectivity, although Gilbertson suggests this may not be a substantial issue unless her testimony directly impacts Allen's mental state. The conversation delves into Allen's multiple confessions—over 60—including those made under questionable conditions, like solitary confinement, which may affect their reliability. Gilbertson points out that while confessions are typically powerful evidence, their credibility can be challenged based on the defendant's mental state and the conditions under which they were made. The discussion also explores how solitary confinement could contribute to a defendant's instability, raising concerns about cruel and unusual punishment. Gilbertson emphasizes that the outcome will largely depend on how these confessions and related testimonies are presented in court and whether the defense can effectively argue that Allen's confessions were not made with a sound mind. - Richard Allen is on trial for multiple murders, with over 60 confessions made under questionable circumstances. - Dr. Monica Walla, a therapist involved in the case, is accused of compromising her objectivity due to personal interest and social media activity. - The defense may argue that Allen's confessions are unreliable, citing his mental state and conditions in solitary confinement. - Confessions are typically strong evidence, but their reliability is challenged if mental instability is proven. - Solitary confinement's potential psychological impact on Allen could be a significant factor in the defense's argument. - The case underscores the ethical and professional dilemmas involved in legal and psychological assessments. - The trial's outcome may hinge on the effectiveness of presenting and contesting the validity of Allen's confessions. #RichardAllen #MonicaWalla #ConfessionValidity #SolitaryConfinement #LegalDefense #MentalHealthInCourt #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Will The Judge Allow Richard Allen To Present A 3rd Party Culprit In Court?
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the upcoming trial of Richard Allen, focusing on the recent legal motions and their implications for the defense strategy. The trial, set for October, is fast approaching, with Judge Gull recently denying the defense’s motion to dismiss the case. Motta explains that this denial was expected, as such motions are rarely granted. He emphasizes the importance of the timeline in this case, noting that the state has established a narrow window for the time of death based on activity from Libby German’s phone. Motta points out that the defense should challenge this timeline, especially given that the girls' body temperatures were not taken, and no official time of death was determined by the medical examiner. Additionally, ongoing forensic analysis of Libby’s phone, seven years after the crime, could provide the defense with opportunities to create reasonable doubt. Motta suggests that the defense may argue that the phone’s reactivation was intentional by the killer, aiming to ensure the bodies were found. The discussion highlights the critical role that the timeline and phone data will play in the upcoming trial. - Richard Allen's trial is scheduled for October, with critical motions recently ruled on by Judge Gull. - The motion to dismiss was denied, as expected, but provided insight into the judge's perspective on the case. - The defense is likely to focus on challenging the timeline of the crime, which the state has fixed between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. - The lack of a fixed time of death and ongoing forensic analysis of Libby German’s phone are key areas for the defense. - The defense may argue that the phone’s reactivation was intentional, suggesting the killer wanted the bodies to be found. #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #DefenseStrategy #LegalAnalysis #ForensicEvidence #LibbyGerman #TimelineDiscrepancy Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Does Delphi Accused Richard Allen's Fall Into Psychotic Behavior Reveal Guilt?
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the perplexing case of Richard Allen, the man accused of being the Delphi murderer. The conversation centers on the defense's attempt to have 60 confessions made by Allen during solitary confinement excluded from the trial. Scott examines the legitimacy of these confessions, considering Allen's potential mental deterioration under the extreme conditions of solitary confinement, where he displayed signs of psychosis, such as eating feces. She notes that while solitary confinement can severely impact mental health, the extent of Allen’s behavior suggests pre-existing psychotic tendencies. The discussion also highlights the lack of a clear character history indicating instability before his arrest, making the case more complex. Scott emphasizes that the full story is not yet known and points to the strange elements of the case, including possible connections to an Odinist cult, as factors that further complicate understanding Allen's mental state and guilt. **Main Points:** - Richard Allen's defense seeks to exclude 60 confessions made during solitary confinement. - The confessions may lack legitimacy due to Allen's potential mental deterioration under extreme conditions. - Allen's behavior, including psychotic symptoms, suggests possible pre-existing mental health issues. - There is a lack of clear evidence indicating Allen’s instability prior to his arrest. - The case is complicated by unusual elements, including potential links to an Odinist cult. **Hashtags:** #RichardAllen #DelphiMurders #OdinistCult #Psychosis #TonyBrueski #ShavaunScott Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
