The Delphi double murder case saw new developments as the complete video recorded by Libby German's cell phone before she and Abby Williams were murdered in 2017 was released online. This video, showing the last moments before their disappearance, was posted by supporters of Richard Allen, who has been convicted and sentenced to 130 years in prison. Following this, Allen's defense team filed an appeal citing legal missteps, arguing that crucial third-party evidence was excluded from the trial. Experts suggest that proving these claims in an appeal will be challenging.
The video shows Williams walking along a rural trail behind German, with a man behind them. The last moments of the video are the last time the teens were heard or seen alive.
ABC7 Chief Legal Analyst Gil Soffer said that will be a difficult argument to prove to an appellate judge. 'The odds are against them... a lot of discretion is given to trial judges by the appellate court.'
