Unless they were tested at the time, there is no way to prove if this had happened. I certainly don’t believe them because they are supporting the man that killed Abby and Libby. He claims he did do it and, considering what he has been charged with, I believe him as nothing he does would shock me at this stage. He is a sick predator that wanted to rape children and would have if he hadn't got spooked and, which I might add, he openly admits too.
These defense attorneys are doing an excellent job of making a record for appeal.Yes, for the record in case it got missed….
ONE MORE ATTEMPT AT ODINISM, THIRD PARTY THEORY: After the jury had left for the day, Baldwin made another run at an offer of proof to introduce evidence about a third-party theory that Abby and Libby were victims of a ritual killing done by people practicing Odinism/old Norse paganism. Judge Fran Gull has knocked down each of those attempts, ruling that the burden was on Allen’s attorneys “to show a nexus between Odinism, cult or ritualistic killing” or any of the names of the men attached to the third-party theory.
The Defense Brings Its Own Psychology Expert - Delphi Trial Day Fifteen
DELPHI, Ind. -- Day 15 in the Delphi murders trial Monday was the fourth featuring defense witnesses in the case against Richard Allen, 52, of Delphi, accused of the 2017 murders of eighth-graders Abby Williams and Libby German.wibc.com
On Monday, Baldwin asked about a couple of possibilities. In one, he referenced testimony from a former ISP detective during a pretrial hearing, in which he said a suspect in the alleged Odinist plot had asked him after an interview in early 2018 whether, if traces of his spit were found on one of the girls but he could explain why, would he still be in trouble. Baldwin said he wanted to asked investigators whether that sort of spit evidence would have been used against Baldwin in trial. He asked the same about recreations of the crime scene posted on social media. Would that have been used against Allen at trial if found among his things?
“We’ve had this conversation a thousand times,” Gull told Baldwin. She said the defense needed to show a nexus between the crime and the Odinist plot.
“I believe there’s more than a nexus,” Baldwin said. He said he wasn’t sure what Gull’s definition of nexus was, though.
Either way, Baldwin said he wanted the question on the record “for the Court of Appeals.”
I wagered yesreday that we'd now see that come in.
RA could get on the stand and tell the jury himself. Absent that, they see two versions of RA. Which version of RA speaks the truth?
I don't think she'll have fear of her husband. If a Not Guilty is returned they will most likely be busy and embroiled in a civil suit over how the state handled him when he was in the DOC care but totally agree their lives have been changed forever no matter what happens with the jury.
That is what I am of the opinion of that could hang the jury. The juxtaposition of the RA who was lucid and denied many, many times during the early interrogations or the shrunken image of his depravity of so we "hear" of the prison video confessions that are contradictory e.g. I molested my family, I racked a bullet on the bridge, I shot the girls etc. etc. Other than that, the prosecution's case in my opinion was somewhat weak on both circumstantial and forensic evidence.
No, that's incorrectly stated, according to the link. It was, "That's not correct! No!" That yell was in answer to Baldwin saying, "You went and worked on your ATM machines."
That's because she knew their conversations were being recorded. MOO

I think both RA's wife and mother were clued in on how to behave, what to say and hang up on him if all else fails, don't answer his calls. MO
