Richard Allen’s fight isn’t over. His legal team has officially filed an appeal, arguing that the trial was riddled with errors and that crucial evidence was unfairly kept from the jury—evidence they say could have changed everything.

Allen was convicted of the February 13, 2017, murders of Abby Williams and Libby German and sentenced in December to 130 years in prison, the maximum allowed under Indiana law. But his attorneys, Jennifer Auger and Andrew Baldwin, claim the trial was plagued with legal missteps. Just over a month ago, they filed a motion to correct errors, and now they’re escalating the fight to the appellate court.

One of the biggest points of contention? The exclusion of third-party evidence. The defense wanted the jury to consider alternative suspects, but Judge Fran Gull ruled that there was no direct connection between those individuals and the crime. "This jury wanted to convict someone," Auger told WRTV’s Kaitlyn Kendall. "They feel that that's their job. And with no one else to point the finger to, I believe that had our third-party evidence come out, this would have ended differently."

And then there’s the bridge video. The full footage from Libby German’s phone has now been released to the public, showing more than what was previously made available. The extended clip offers a clearer view of the suspect’s movements, fueling debate about whether Allen was truly the man in the video. Prosecutors have long maintained that he was, but skeptics argue that the new footage raises fresh doubts—especially regarding whether more than one person could have been involved. The defense is expected to use this video as part of their appeal, claiming that its full context was not properly presented during the trial.

The appeal was officially filed on March 11. Now, the case moves into yet another legal battle. Will the appellate court overturn the conviction, or will Richard Allen remain behind bars for life?
