Richard Allen was convicted of murdering 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German near the Monon High Bridge trail in Delphi, Indiana. He's serving 130 years. His defense has appealed, raising serious questions about the search warrant, his confessions, and evidence the jury never heard. The Indiana Attorney General just filed their formal response. And defense attorney Bob Motta went through all of it with us.

This complete three-part panel is the most thorough picture of where the Richard Allen appeal stands.

The State's response calls the evidence "conclusive and irrefutable" — but never addresses the documented fact from the defense's brief that Allen told his prison psychiatrist he shot the girls. They were not shot.

In the first session, Bob breaks down the State's strategy — procedural waiver, the coercion argument, the religious conversion claim, harmless error on every ruling that went against the defense.

In the second session, he goes through the two factual problems at the core of the case. The van the prosecution called the detail only the killer would know — and the surveillance footage and FBI data suggesting it arrived after the timeline ended. And the wrong cause of death in the confession — met with complete silence in the State's 94 pages.

In the third session, Bob faces forward. What the reply brief needs to accomplish. What oral arguments allow. What reversal looks like. What this means for the families. And an honest answer about the five percent reversal rate.

Whether you've followed this from the beginning or are just catching up — this is where you start.
