Delphi Murders Evidence Doesn't Point To Man Charged With Crime
Oct 09, 2023, 03:00 PM
Is the prosecution of Richard Allen based on solid evidence, or are there deeper, more sinister layers to this case that have yet to be unraveled?
In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski sat down with Defense Attorney and Host of the podcast Defense Diaries, Bob Motta, to dissect the ongoing case against Richard Allen. The conversation revealed a series of startling revelations and raised questions about the integrity of the prosecution's evidence.
Brueski began by highlighting the influx of evidence that seemingly doesn't point towards Allen's guilt. Motta, who has been vocal about the case on his Twitter, expressed concern about the prosecution's approach. He emphasized the defense's recent request for a discovery deadline, stressing the urgency given the looming trial date of January 8th. "Three months goes in the blink of an eye," Motta remarked, emphasizing the magnitude of the case.
Motta went on to discuss the unique legal landscape in Indiana, where the defense can depose both fact and expert witnesses before the trial. This, he believes, levels the playing field, allowing the defense to be better prepared. However, he also pointed out the challenges, noting that police reports are often summaries and not verbatim accounts, which can lead to discrepancies.
The conversation took a turn when Brueski brought up the seemingly exculpatory evidence that was handed over to the defense very late in the process. Motta didn't hold back, stating, "It certainly gives the appearance that the state was slow playing that discovery." He speculated that the state might have hoped the defense had already formed a theory based on earlier evidence and would overlook the new information.
The discussion then shifted to the controversial topic of Odinism, which has been a focal point in the defense's narrative. While some dismiss the ritualistic aspect of the case, others, having gone through the memo and the state's discovery, are questioning if the right person is in custody. Motta firmly placed himself in the latter camp, expressing skepticism about the Odinism angle but not dismissing the individuals named in the defense's memo.
Motta elaborated, "Do I think that the individuals that they named in their memo... think that they're interested in [Odinism]? Sure. That does not mean that I think that they went and did a ritual sacrifice to Odin." He suggested that the motive might be rooted in white nationalism or supremacy, hinting at a possible racial motive behind the crime.
In wrapping up their conversation, Motta mentioned his interview with Barbara McDonald, who was deeply involved in the "Down the Hill" podcast and is well-informed about the case. He emphasized that while the Odinism angle is intriguing, the core question remains whether the right individuals are being held accountable for the crime.
As the Richard Allen case continues to unfold, one can't help but wonder: Are we any closer to the truth, or are we merely scratching the surface of a much deeper mystery?
