Delphi Murders: Richard Allen — Everything Wrong With Indiana's Response

You've been inside these documents. You know the warrant. You know the confessions. You know what the jury never heard. Now the State has filed their formal answer to the appeal — and we're going through every argument they make, and every argument they avoid, in this complete three-part panel with defense attorney Bob Motta.
The frame: 94 pages from the Indiana Attorney General calling this conviction "conclusive and irrefutable." Not one of those pages addresses the documented fact from the defense's brief that Allen told his psychiatrist he shot the girls. They were not shot.
Session one covers the State's strategy — procedural waiver to front-load the shutdown before substance is ever reached, the coercion standard as applied to 13 months of solitary confinement, the religious conversion argument, and harmless error as a universal cover for every ruling that went against the defense.
Session two covers the two factual problems. The van — surveillance footage and FBI cell phone data suggesting it arrived after Libby German's phone stopped registering movement, met in the State's brief by a procedural objection to the paperwork rather than a dispute of the data. And the wrong cause of death — documented, in the record, and answered by the State with complete silence across 94 pages.
Session three covers what happens now — the reply brief, oral arguments, what partial reversal means in practical terms, what this does to the families of Abby and Libby, and what the five percent reversal rate actually tells us about a case with these specific constitutional questions in front of these specific judges.
For anyone who has been tracking every development in this case — this is the full analytical picture.
