PART 3 | Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas M
Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas M:
“Before we get started I want to reiterate some of the things that Sheriff Leazenby and Superintendent Carter stated.
I first want to thank both of them, they’ve been a great support to my office throughout this investigation, and they’ve always been there for a phone call and willing to help a hand for a lot assistance to me and my office during this investigation.
I want to thank....this is the homicide task force that we’ve put together (thanks them and their families).”

“At that time we had gathered evidence to formulate a PC that was submitted to the court and the judge did find probable cause for arrest of Richard Allen.
He’s been charged with two counts of murder, for the murder of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.
This investigation is still very ongoing.
We’re keeping the tip line open, the tip email open, we encourage everybody to continue to call in tips, not only about Richard Allen, but about any other person that you may have.
For that reason, and for the nature of this case, the probable cause and the charging information has been sealed by the court.
I’ve been very clear to everybody that per the court order we can not talk about the evidence that’s in the probable cause or evidence that’s in the charging information.
That will become evident to you at some point and it will be released but right now is not that day.
Today’s about Abby and Libby, focusing on them.
Mr. Allen has had his initial hearing, he has entered a (feed cutting out) (preliminary) plea of not guilty...(cutting out) (matter has been set for pretrial) (feed cuts out) on January 13 at 9:00am 2023 and a trial date of March 20 at 9:00am.
He is presumed innocent.”
(“We will have a”) (Big skip in feed)
“I want to open up for a few limited questions from the audience, but again keep in mind we are not going to talk about the evidence that we have in this case or about the charging information, we can not, those things have been sealed by the court and so I want to open up for a few questions.”
(* Frantic sound of reporters talking over each other, feed cuts out)
(* Reporter’s question is not heard due to feed cutting out and news channel host speaking over reporter’s question “unfortunately this is the feed I have, we are doing our best...not responsible for quality of feed...”)
“Again, that’s part of the investigation and I’m not going to talk about those things but I can say that we have probable cause established by the court.”
(Feed skips)
(I’m converting to short hand, patience is fading lol)
“...the evidence we have in the investigation ...and I know for everybody it is frustrating. I know everybody not only the reporters but the families, everyone wants to know more information, I understand it’s frustrating, but my goal is to maintain the integrity of this case.”
(Doug Carter comes to podium to address (unheard) question.)

* Break time, my arm is hurting and the feed skips and breaks are getting irritating. I know you all have all this content and information by now anyway as the PC started six hours ago, but I am taking notes for not only all who can’t watch the conference in the UK, etc., but also for myself, and others, as we discuss all this going forward and provide/link reference. I know all the reporters have already tweeted and reported and gotten out what they want to “first”, speed is not my goal here, as I know there are likely infinite media outlets covering this.
