Summary

What happens when the truth is kept under lock and key? As Richard Allen faces trial, the defense's hope seems dim. With five alleged confessions, he’s not looking great, but what about his mental state after being locked away in solitary confinement? Jennifer Coffindaffer and Tony Brueski dig into how Allen has visibly deteriorated, dropping weight and, possibly, his sanity. Could endless isolation lead a man to believe he committed a crime, even if he didn’t? And why the secrecy? Sequestered juries, no electronics, and hidden exhibits—it’s almost as if the trial itself is locked away, just like Allen. But is this about getting to the truth, or is someone trying to steer the narrative? What happens when the public is kept in the dark?

How do you feel like this is going to turn out at the end of the day without them having much of a defense that they can even hang their hat on?

0:41.6

Is this just going to be a quick conviction and then appeal and then we get to redo all of this again in a year or two?

0:48.2

This will be a really quick conviction, I believe.

I mean, at this point we have five confessions that were

prior to being convicted immediately, he was put in a state maximum security facility, 23 hours a day behind, you know, without any contact with anyone, supposedly eating papers and going crazy.

50 plus pounds. He looked emaciated. He looked sullen. He had aged 20 years. I mean,

1:43.0

just looks horrible. And it apparently, at least according to

1:46.4

his attorneys, kind of lost his mind. But they're saying that the confessions he made were to his mom

1:53.8

and to his wife and they were legitimate and that since then he's made many more. I just can't
