The interest in Abigail Williams and Liberty German’s murders led to several independent investigations by ordinary citizens and true crime enthusiasts. It also inspired in-depth analysis from “The Murder Sheet” podcast, which is hosted by lawyer/journalist duo Kevin Greenlee and Áine Cain. According to Fox News, the host recently received crime scene photos. According to the outlet, the images, which were leaked by a former associate of one of Allen’s representatives, have been uploaded to social media.
Unfortunately, these photos could bring undue harm to the victims’ families. “Anybody who wanted to could copy [the photos] and do anything they want with them, including emailing the family members or doing other harassing things,” said Greenlee. Even more disturbing, the photos could deem Allen guilty in the court of public opinion and “could potentially taint the jury pool.” The potential for a mistrial could also increase.

During an interview with Fox 59, Greenlee revealed that if a judge rules that Allen should get new representation, it could also postpone the trial altogether. “What’s important to remember is Richard Allen is presumed innocent until determined guilty,” said Greenlee. “It will certainly not begin in January because these new attorneys are going to need to take time, months or perhaps a year or more, just to learn the case and so his pre-trial detention period is just going to grow even longer through no direct fault of his own.”
