Delphi murders: Lawyers seek to overturn Richard Allen's conviction in killings of teen girls
Briefly

Lawyers representing Richard Allen, convicted of killing two young girls in Delphi, Indiana, have initiated a motion to overturn the verdict. They argue that there were critical legal missteps, including the handling of custody proceedings, misleading testimony concerning the timeline of events, an alleged confession by another individual, and issues related to cellphone forensic evidence. Allen is currently serving a 130-year sentence for the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams, and these appeals aim to challenge the foundation of the case against him.
