Delphi Trial Verdict: Awaiting the Jury's Decision

In the small town of Delphi, Indiana, a trial that has gripped the community for weeks is finally coming to a close. The jury in the case of Richard Allen, accused of killing Abby Williams and Libby German in 2017, has reached a verdict. The announcement was made at 1:40 p. m. on Monday, November 11. Bob Segall, a senior reporter from 13News, is in the courtroom to hear the verdict firsthand. Due to court rules, no cameras or phones are allowed, so the public will have to wait for a reporter to leave the Carroll County Courthouse to find out the jury's decision. This case has been a long time coming. The murders happened almost eight years ago, and it was only last October that Richard Allen was charged. For nearly three weeks, the trial has been underway, with the prosecution painting Allen as a cunning killer hiding in plain sight, while the defense argues that Allen's confession was the result of a mental breakdown. 13News has been covering the trial closely, and as soon as the verdict is announced, they will report it.
