Justice at the Edge as Delphi Awaits Verdict and Richard Allen Faces 130 Years in Monon High Bridge Tragedy

The legal proceedings in the Delphi murder case reached a critical turn as closing arguments were presented before a silent courthouse. Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland gave a statement to jurors, underscored by Special Judge Fran Gull’s solemn reminder that further disruptions in decorum would not be tolerated. As reported by

, the case revolves around the tragic 2017 deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German, whose lives ended near the Monon High Bridge.

Amidst the closure of the weekslong trial, the accusations against Richard Allen, a local resident and pharmacy technician, carry weight for potential sentencing that could amount to 130 years. Drawing from the events of February 13, 2017, McLeland narrated to the jury the last known moments of the victims, creating a timeline from their departure to the trails to their disappearance, detailed in a statement obtained by

Jurors were shown various pieces of evidence, including a phone call confession by Allen and disturbing crime scene photos. However, the defense argues that Allen’s confession was made under extreme stress and agitation. According to

Midland Daily News

, a grainy cellphone video, which may suggest another person was at the crime scene, raises doubts and presents an alternative version of the events surrounding the abduction and killings of the young girls.

The trial, which drew attention from locals and true-crime fans, was marked by procedural issues, including the withdrawal of public defenders, a gag order, and an evidence leak, according to

Midland Daily News

. The jury, from Allen County, endured over three weeks of evidence and testimony, with their decision now approaching.
