The Delphi murders shocked the nation, but the story is far from over. Richard Allen may have been convicted of killing Liberty German and Abby Williams, but his legal fight is only beginning. In this exclusive interview, defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta takes us inside the appeal process — the deadlines, the legal filings, and the strategy his team believes could turn this case on its head.
We cover what a “motion to correct errors” really means, why “harmless error” is the state’s favorite shield, and how appellate lawyers decide which trial mistakes are worth fighting over. This is the inside look at the post-conviction legal battlefield that most true crime coverage ignores — the part that happens after the cameras leave the courtroom.
If you think a conviction means the case is closed, think again. We dig into the possible grounds for appeal, from pretrial rulings to evidentiary exclusions, and explore whether the court’s decisions denied Richard Allen a fair trial. Whether you believe he’s guilty or innocent, the stakes in this appeal couldn’t be higher — because if the verdict doesn’t hold up, the entire case could be back in play.
