Newly released documents claim Richard Allen confessed to Delphi Murders ‘no less than 5 times’ in jailhouse call

Indiana prosecutors in the high-profile Delphi murders case have responded to the theory put forth by the defendant’s attorneys alleging that the two young victims were targeted by a “pagan cult” and ritualistically sacrificed, calling the notion “colorful, dramatic, and highly unprofessional.”

In a 6-page motion opposing defendant Richard Allen’s request to have all pretrial and trial proceedings broadcasted, Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland told Special Judge Fran C. Gull that the state has “serious concerns” about the defense team’s “extrajudicial grandstanding” undermining the judicial process.

“Defense counsel continues to use inflammatory language in pleadings, including statements that are simply not true, and there is no reason to think they will not continue to use supercilious language in court, designed as soundbites for recording on the national stage, for example the language used by Defense describing ‘the conditions under which Mr. Allen has been forced to endure are akin to that of a prisoner of war,”” the motion states.

Prosecutors then cite last week’s defense filing, which claims that authorities investigating the murders of Abigail “Abby” Williams and Liberty “Libby” German withheld exculpatory evidence, lied about the investigation while under oath, and ignored evidence that the victims may have been “ritualistically sacrificed” by a white nationalist cult practicing a pagan Norse religion called “Odinism.”

In that motion, the defense requested a Franks hearing to determine whether authorities knowingly or recklessly lied to obtain the search warrant that ultimately led to Allen’s arrest last year. The purpose of the hearing would be to have the warrant — and all evidence collected against Allen as a result of the warrant — deemed inadmissible in court.
