Richard Allen Found Guilty in Delphi Double Murder Trial

Richard Allen has been convicted on all counts in the high-profile Delphi double murder trial regarding the deaths of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14. Following 19 hours of deliberation, the jury found Allen guilty of two counts each of murder and felony murder. The case has profoundly affected the Delphi community since the girls' bodies were discovered in February 2017, leading to renewed investigative efforts and Allen's arrest in 2022. Key evidence included confessions from Allen, video footage from the victims' phone, and an unspent bullet linked to his firearm. Sentencing is set for December 20, where Allen could face up to 130 years in prison.
