So RA never said he was in a blue jacket, he said from the beginning of the interview with Mullin it would have been blue or black. He never said he was wearing a hat, he said he carries a hat in his pocket. He said he owns a few pairs of shoes and prob wore tennis shoes. He was asked if he was BG. Emphatically no. He was asked if that was him in the picture taken by Libby, "well if it's on their phone it's not me I never met those girls".

 
I’m completely sickened by the way Richard Allen was treated before his constitutional right to a fair trial.

The fact that this happened in America should terrify everyone here

The fact they let these psychotic ramblings into evidence as confessions is equally appalling

Jmo
IMO, RA and the confessions he made about murdering Abby and Libby is what I find appalling.

I don't find the admittance of his confessions in the trial against RA terrifying, I find what RA did to Abby & Libby terrifying.

I'm sickened by the actions of RA and have no issue with how he was detained before trial.

Getting through 5 hours 28 mins and 10 secs of Andrea Burkhart and it seems Richard Allen in one of his interviews went to the Sheriff's office first before getting a call on his way to the supermarket and so forth.

Also, his description of the three girls he saw seems like it was a babysitter with two minors. An older female with long black hair and two younger ones with her.

Not three teenage females nor three teenage females and a minor.

Does his account of who he saw that day count I wonder?

At this point did he know anything about those girls and others giving their witness accounts or not.

In addition, I asked the other night if anyone had ever asked or tried to find out if he walked along the entire bridge or just part of it and it seems he only walked along a part of it.

Have a lot more to get through - there is just not enough hours in the day!

The DOC sent a group of lawyers into court for the afternoon session.

They're worried.
Wouldn't that be because there were DOC employees and prisoners that were testifying? That would be my 1st thought. I am up too late and may just not be seeing how that means anyone is worried.
 
Here’s one example, there’s thousands more behind this one. Unfortunately this is an all too common occurrence in our country, most cases never get the spotlight like Delphi has and innocent people are locked away with no voice

Your link states during interrogation, RA willingly and freely gave his confessions from his jail cell and even hand wrote one to the Warden. Far and away from the same set of circumstances.

MOO
 
What’s your solution? Where do you put him that ensures he won’t kill himself, while also ensuring that other inmates don’t have the opportunity to kill him.

No one has provided an answer to this, and if someone can, I’d love to hear it.
Many defendants who are charged with equally heinous crimes have been kept in county jails and have had no issues,
 
I seldom post but have followed this case from the beginning. My opinion is that he will be convicted and sentenced to life without the chance of parole. His lawyers claim he is being mistreated because he is in "solitary confinement". The lawyers, if they are around long enough after the trial ends, will sing a different tune if he is put in general population. He and they will want solitary confinement for him them. Yep, gen pop is where he belongs. He will be at the bottom of the food chain within the prison hierarchy. Hardened criminals do not take kindly to horrific crimes against children. I just do not see his two lawyers staying with the case after a conviction. They will have their book deals and leave Richard Allen in the dust. Of course, this is all my opinion.
He will be in protective custody if he is convicted.
 
So the max wing of the max security section he was housed in had inmates under suicide watch "the hole" for a day, maybe a week max.

RA was there for 13 months.

Absolutely obscene.

The warden also confirmed no pre-trial detainee had ever been housed in "the hole" in his institution in the time he'd been there (5 years).

No information he was at risk of self harm when he came in. Didn't defer to Dr Wala, didn't look at his chart or history, to decide he should be detained in "the hole".

Wonder where the order came from.
 
It's embarrassing these were allowed into a court of law.
This isn't a case where a man is on trial for being embarrassed, RA is being tried for the gruesome murders of two innocent girls, Abby and Libby.

These confessions indicate to me a very evil and sick individual who needs to pay for his crimes against these children.

Respectfully, he didn’t say exactly what killed them but he did allude to a box cutter, according to this report.

In his autopsy reports, Kohr wrote that some of the wounds were serrated and suggested multiple weapons may have been used. He told the defense during a February deposition that there may have been “some class of serration” in some of the wounds.

He later told the court he was “unsettled” over the serration issue. He now believes the wounds could have been caused by something like a box cutter. He said the “minimum” number of weapons needed for the murders was one.



JMO
respectfully, that is not testimony that a box cutter was the murder weapon. It’s an option that he thought about, most likely after the prosecution told him about Richard Allen’s ramblings since his stance changed after he was deposed.

If that’s what the prosecution is relying on for their evidence only a killer would know they are in for a rough next few weeks
 
Closest thing I can think of is Israel Keyes, although in his case I think it was less that he was at risk of harm from other inmates and more that they were at risk of harm from him.

He was held in similar isolated conditions in an actual prison under suicide watch for nine months, and it would have been longer but he killed himself while on suicide watch.

He too was never convicted of a crime, incidentally.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone complain about his arrangement.
IK killed himself in jail after confessing to half a dozen murders. His condition of confessing to LE was that he receive the DP immediately after conviction. I guess he took the DP into his own hands.

RA was not is solitary confinement in a black hole in the prison basement, but located on a segregated unit ward with the most supervision. He had daily interaction with others, rec time, a tablet to phone his family and peruse approved books or movies, access to religious services. He had access to physical and mental health experts that he would not have had had they kept him in the CC Jail.

On vacation these would be unacceptable conditions, RA was an accused Defendant in a gruesome double homicide.

Only employees today. No prisoners.

Att General was there also.
