In the ongoing Delphi murders trial, the defense for Richard Allen, the man charged with the 2017 deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German, concluded its case on the seventeenth day of proceedings. As reported by

, Allen’s defense presented various witnesses, including psychiatrists and forensics experts, along with evidence from camcorder videos depicting Allen during his incarceration.
After the defense rested, the state called rebuttal witnesses to the stand, which included the return of witness Breann Wilber. Her previous testimony had her on the Monon High Bridge, where she snapped a photo, timestamped 12:25 p.m., on the day the victims were last seen. According to an interview obtained by
FOX59
, Wilber did not recall seeing the girls or anyone who matched the description of the suspect known as “Bridge Guy” on that day. Defense attorney Andrew Baldwin noted Wilber’s detailed recollection, stating she had “pretty good memory for seven-and-a-half years later.”
Judge Fran Gull noted the end of the defense’s presentation and the start of the trial’s next phase. “I wasn’t anticipating having this conversation quite yet,” Judge Gull said, as captured by
WRTV
. Instructions for the jury were discussed, and both legal teams were allotted two to two and a half hours for their closing arguments.
The jury, made up of twelve residents and four alternates from Allen County, has been part of the trial since it began last month, as WTHR reported. 13News will continue covering the trial, keeping the public informed about the proceedings.
