Alibis that can’t be proven are legally referred to as “not having an alibi”.
That makes a lot of sense when you explain it like that
Alibis that can’t be proven are legally referred to as “not having an alibi”.
He instigated putting himself on the trails from 1:30 to 3:30 with his original interview shortly after the murders when it was very fresh in his memory. Why is this being challenged?
I think he heard it but couldn't tell where it was because it was under a body, muffled. He may even have pushed some leaves around looking for it, who knows? MOI don’t think the killer “suddenly remembered” LG had a phone. Possibly he did not realize she got any video? After the 18 minutes of movement post video, he took it from her and shut it down, never knowing that she captured a video of him, or an accomplice. I definitely do not believe he didn’t know she had one and therefore there was no overlooking it. The killer was likely well aware that these kids don’t go anywhere without their phone. JMHO
It's been a long day.Alibis that can’t be proven are legally referred to as “not having an alibi”.
If the defense can’t get RA off the bridge(which they can’t), they have to evoke time travel and change the timeline. That can’t be done either.
I could certainly see where that could cause someone to breakdown, with or without prior mental health issues. Will his lawyer not allow him to go ahead and plead guilty? I know the defense is charged with providing him with a vigorous defense. But at what point, is his right to plea infringed upon? I mean to ask, who is preventing him from pleading guilty? Is that state not satisfied that he's mentally stable?I know that we all have our opinions, and that's just the way it is...
But, Dr Wala was someone that RA confessed to.
At one point, RA asked Dr. Wala to phone his wife. During the phone call he told her that he killed the girls.
He even requested for the doctor to stay so that she could hear it. ( Something to that wording) KA apparently hung up on him.
He told the doctor, "She doesn't believe me."
His mom told him that he was being brainwashed and to stop.
This guy had accepted his savior and wanted to be cleansed from his sins. He had come to realize that this lifetime would not reunite him with his family. He wants to have the peace of mind that he will spend eternity with them.
Can anyone imagine the feeling that comes with wanting to come clean to the people that you have let down, that have supported you and be told that you are not believed?
That is probably a big part of his breakdown.
The testimony from Dr Wala is covered in MS coverage of the 3 days of hearings.
Adding to my own post that the sketches and video just seemed to muck up the whole thing... ok, the sketches. I still don't understand.I also don't see any resemblance between RA and BG.

Just wanted to add that RA had a mental assessment scheduled at 10am on April 14th 2023 if you want to add that to the proposed timeline.Here's the timeline for "Ricky's" meds. I sure hope there was some psych evaluation before they gave him involuntary injections of psychotropic medication.
(SNIP)
March 23, 2023: Allen was depressed and withdrawn and said he “was not straight in the head."
April 4, 2023: Allen suffered from insomnia, hopelessness, was suicidal, and stated “death would bring relief to him."
April 13, 2023: Allen was exhibiting “bizarre” behavior, including consuming his own feces, and was suffering from a “grave disability.” The prison psychologist ordered Allen receive an involuntary injection of psychotropic medication.
April 21, 2023: Allen’s thoughts were disjointed and he was saying “strange things.” Wala discussed that he might be considered incompetent to stand trial.
May 3, 2023: Allen said he wanted to confess details of the crime.
May 18, 2023: Allen receives another dose of psychotropic medication.
May 23, 2023: Allen diagnosed as suffering from stress-induced psychosis.
June 8, 2023: Allen’s depression “at its peak,” noted trembling, knees buckling.
June 16, 2023: Allen receives another dose of psychotropic medication.
Late June, 2023: Allen’s mental health improving.
October 2023: Allen was proclaiming his innocence.
Allen’s defense team claims the confessions fall within the timeframe of Allen’s severe psychosis diagnosed by prison psychologists.
Judge rules Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen to be moved to county jail
It is not yet known where Allen will be housed or when he will be moved to a new jail.www.wthr.com
If he called his wife in the presence of Dr. W and confessed, who or what could be preventing him from pleading? As a defendant, that would be maddening not to have family believe you, and if the 'experts' don't either...Do you have a link to where he's expressed a wish to plead guilty to his lawyers??
I honestly think it does look like RA...for the things you mention and the angle of his shoulders too. It's his build to a tee, IMOThe Video is bad quality but it certainly doesn’t rule out RA as same height and fatness. He also has the short legs with the hanging bottoms and not forgetting he admits what he wore that day which was similar to BG.
That's true. He did admit he wore something similar to BG. But I do wonder how many men of his age group wore something similar anytime they were outside in February? But now that I read about his confessions, it all seems moot, as long as he was sane when he confessed.The Video is bad quality but it certainly doesn’t rule out RA as same height and fatness.

Can LE prove they were dead by 3:30? That is the question? JMO
Have they said this?
Q. It has been stated in a press conference that “it was all over by 3:30 on Feb 13.” This statement was based on what information?
A. Evidence. I do not recall a specific time though but rather a time line.
But during a three-day pretrial hearing last week, an abundance of new evidence and shocking details were shared for the first time.
Investigators shared their belief that Libby and Abby were abducted at 2:14 pm on February 13, 2017, and killed somewhere between 2:30 pm and 3:30 pm.
The timeline, in part, was put together by data gleaned from Libby's iPhone 6s – the same device she used to capture the chilling footage of her killer.
And I believe, from Dr. W's testimony, that was when she referred him to his lawyers. It's only logical he probably did talk to them about wanting to confess. We know also from the hearings (IIRC it was ISP Harshman) that KA told him to stop talking and said she was calling his lawyers. MOIf he called his wife in the presence of Dr. W and confessed, who or what could be preventing him from pleading?

Didn't she also say on the stand, during the hearings, that she thought a few times that RA was faking his symptoms?
But he admits he was out on that bridge so you also have him on the bridge and dressed like BG.
So a reasonable person has to then ask what are the odds that he was dressed like the killer out on the bridge between 1.30-3.30pm which he said in his first statement.
If we take into consideration what RA was doing at the time he was confessing, I think it’s fair to say, he was not sane at that time. JMOThat's true. He did admit he wore something similar to BG. But I do wonder how many men of his age group wore something similar anytime they were outside in February? But now that I read about his confessions, it all seems moot, as long as he was sane when he confessed.
Pretty good odds in Indiana! There's practically a dress code for middle-aged men.
IMO MOO
