Indiana Court of Appeals

I think there's going to be a week for us to figure this out.

They also tried to appeal separately to the Indiana Court of Appeals.

But then after a few days, they were like, you know what? This is so important.

It needs to be in the Supreme Court of Indiana.

We got to know what's going on.

So if by some miracle, the NCAA gets its stay in the Indiana Court of Appeals and Trey White becomes ineligible, well, they haven't committed a spot to him for about another week to week and a half or so.

Okay.

Even though he's back on the team, he does not count toward the 15-player limit until his classes start.

So if you want the full story, definitely go back and listen to those episodes, because today I'm just going to focus on what happened this week.

On Monday, Richard Allen's attorneys appeared before a three-judge panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals, asking the court to overturn his convictions and grant him a new trial.

He was convicted in 2024 of murdering 13-year-old Abby Williams, and 14-year-old Libby German, and he was sentenced to 130 years in prison.

And his attorneys are arguing that he did not receive a fair trial.

And the reason that we are back is because Richard Allen's case was back in an Indiana courtroom this week, and I was there.

And even though Richard Allen or Rick, as his attorneys call him, has already been found guilty in the murders of best friends, 13-year-old Abigail Williams and 14-year-old Liberty German, and even though he's been sentenced to 130 years in prison, yeah, long prison sentence, his attorneys are asking the Indiana Court of Appeals to throw that conviction out, give him a completely new trial.

I have everything you need to know about what went down inside that Indianapolis Supreme Court room, what you could see and what you couldn't, what was hidden.

We'll go through all of it.

Before we dig in, full disclosure, after several weeks of listening to witness testimony and doing the evidences, I, again, attended Allen's trial daily.

And so the jury could have made that determination.

Is that accurate?

The jury could have made a determination that the confessions were not credible, but the United States Supreme Court in Robinson says, let's not confuse the difference between a credibility assessment and a voluntary assessment.

The average price for regular gas for the state is $4, just down a cent from yesterday.

Here in Indianapolis, it's just under $3.97. It's now up to the Indiana Court of Appeals to decide if Richard Allen should get a new trial in the Delphi murders.

He was convicted in 2024 and sentenced to 130 years in prison for killing Abby Williams and Libby German in 2017.

He wants his conviction overturned.

convicted murderer Richard Allen wants a new trial.

The state, they want him to stay in prison for the rest of his life.

That's essentially the crux of the arguments here at the Indiana Court of Appeals.

From the beginning to end, the proceedings against Rick Allen were unprecedented, unfair, and unconstitutional.

Through years of investigation, the arrest of Richard Allen, his trial, conviction, and sentencing, and today, the case entered another major chapter.

Attorneys for Richard Allen went before the Indiana Court of Appeals asking a three-judge panel to overturn his convictions and give him a new trial in the murders of 13-year-old Abigail, or Abby Williams, and 14 year old Liberty or Libby German.

And Alan was convicted back in November of 2024 and is currently serving a 130 year sentence in prison for the February 2017 murders.

Now, this appeal is not a new trial, and the appellate judges are not deciding today whether Allen is guilty or innocent.
