Warning: Graphic
Richard Allen, an Indiana man recently found guilty of brutally killing two teenagers On the 2017 pedestrian trail, he asks the Court of the Carroll District to cancel his conviction, according to the court documents received by Fox News Digital.
Allen’s lawyers have recently filed a proposal asking the carroll district that they are or the judge of the district empty their beliefs about murder Or schedule a hearing to discuss four specific questions that Allen could prove to the innocent of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams.
“It is natural that the convicted killer wants his conviction for the murder to be canceled,” Fox News Digital, áine Cain, co -organizer of the “murder list”, which has been covered by Delphi’s murder for five years. “It’s a veteran’s job and his ability to try to help them. So.”
Cain and co -organizer Kevin Greenlee, a lawyer, attended Allen’s trial and described the prosecution performance as “firm”.

Convicted of serving 130 years in prison after a A four -week long trial. Prosecutors said Allen was lured by the girls who were walking together on February 13, 2017, far from the high monon of paths and in a secluded forest area where they spilled their neck and then covered their bodies with twigs and leaves.
“After the trial, I believe we felt … although there were problems with this investigation and although surely abuse of tips on Richard Allen was unhappy, we felt that the investigative team and the prosecutors had a good case of proven their case in court with its headquarters In the court, according to evidence that they successfully condemned the man who killed Liberty German and Abigail Williams, “Cain said.
Still, Allen’s lawyers point to four evidence that Allen should allow Allen to abolish their beliefs.
White van
During the trial, prosecutors heard from a prison psychologist who testified that Allen, who is now 52 years old, admitted that he wanted to sexually attack the girl, but was overwhelmed when the van was obviously driving a wooded area of the high monon of trail in Delphia where he lured them and attacked.
The driver of the van testified during Allen’s trial that he drove to the crime scene that day around 2:30 pm – just two minutes before prosecutors said that the German phone had excluded at 2:32 pm – and arrived in his parents’ house at 14:44, according to court documents.
Prosecutors claimed to see a white van “just the killer will know” during Allen’s trial.
Allen’s lawyers are now challenging the testimony of the van driver, saying “his arrival in” around 2:30 “could not have been a detail just that the killer would know, because that did not happen.”

In their proposal, they wrote that the surveillance recordings showing that it seems that a white van that fits the description of the white van is noticed that it is driven by access roads at 14:44 that day. They claim that the recordings show that the driver of the van could not pass by the crime scene at 2:30 pm and arrived at the home of his parents later than 2:44, threw the time bar of the prosecution.

The evidence of the FBI onwards shows that the phone Van Driver is in his parents’ house at 2:50 pm, said Allen’s lawyer.
The confession of another man
Revenge of the killer also emphasizes the alleged recognition from the now deceased man named Ron Logan, who obviously admitted to killing Germany and Williams into a second prisoner in prison just before May 15, 2017.

The researchers’ hand -written notes described in detail by the retelling of the second prisoner of Logan’s recognition are included in a recent proposal. Logan allegedly told the other prisoner that he had lured two victims into the wooded area of the trail and killed them with a boxer – Forensic weapon pathologist Dr. Roland Kohr testified during Allen’s trial that the killer may have used, according to Fox 59.
The FBI searched Logan’s home not far from the high monon of May 17, 2017, according to Fox 59.
“The confession of Ron Logan broke out Mr. Allen and would probably give a different result on the re -reputation.”
“The confession of Ron Logan issues Mr. Allen and would probably give a different result at re -release,” Allen’s lawyers wrote in their proposal. “Therefore, the court should either leave Mr. Allen’s convictions or to file this hearing proposal.”

Prison transfer
Allen’s lawyers further claim that the then surplus “drove” from the Carroll district to the Indiana 2022 repair department without an appropriate guarding procedure to move the prisoners from one detention center to another.
“It should be particularly disturbing because, if he had received the opportunity to do so, Mr. Allen had an absolutely personal right to refuse the transfer to the detention of the department,” his lawyers wrote in the proposal on Monday.

Furthermore, they say that Allen “did not have the opportunity to take advantage of his right to refuse to detaine an Indiana repair of the Indiana repair or to make any of the complaints mentioned above throughout the proceedings” because he and his counselor “had no” notification of legal cunning He lowered him to solitary confinement “23 months before his trial.
Headset connection on a German phone
Near the conclusion of Allen’s trial, the defense presented the testimony of former FBI forekwix expert who said that it seems like someone involved headphones in a German phone, which was discovered near the girls on February 14, at 5:45 pm in February . . 13 hours after they were last seen.
The headphones were then removed from the phone at 10:32, testified by Stacey Eldridge, presenting a possible challenge for the prosecution’s time of the prosecution that they were killed around 2:30 pm, February 13, February 13, According to Fox 59.

An expert who presented the state testified at the trial that the proof of the headset may have been a result of water or dirt by entering the headset connection, and Allen’s lawyers say they never got the opportunity to challenge that testimony in court.

“If the really expert opinion of Mrs. Eldridge is that the wired headphones have been connected to the Auxiliary port of LG 17:44 on February 13, 2017, and the jury attributed almost 5 hours later, the narrative of the state is impossible,” Motion said. “Someone except Richard Allen was operating a LG on the phone several times after the state claimed that Mr. Allen had left the scene before 4:00 pm, February 13, 2017”
Prosecutors pointed out the various evidence that Allena set up at the scene at the time of the crime, including the untouched bullet at the crime scene that suited the fiery weapon recovered from Allen’s House 2022, as well as dozens of awards he made in prison Fox 59 Indianapolis reported at the time.
