The Indiana Attorney General's response to Richard Allen's appeal was supposed to shut down the defense's arguments. It didn't. If anything, the State's brief — filed in March 2026 — raises more questions about what Indiana is willing to do to protect this conviction than it answers about whether the conviction was fairly obtained.

Allen's appellate attorneys laid out a detailed, sourced case: a search warrant affidavit where a detective changed witness descriptions and omitted information that undercut probable cause, confessions made during a psychotic break after over 13 months in solitary confinement at a facility where no pretrial safekeeper had ever been placed before, and a trial where the defense was blocked from presenting a composite sketch, a firearms expert, solitary confinement audio, exculpatory phone calls, evidence of ritualistic crime scene features, and documented alternative suspects whose investigations were abandoned, whose interviews were recorded over, whose weapons were never collected, and whose phones were never searched.

The AG's response to this record: harmless error, waived, speculative. The same words, applied to every issue, as though repetition equals rebuttal.

This episode pulls apart the State's brief and asks the question the Attorney General seems determined to avoid. When the detective alters witness statements, when a psychologist destroys her notes, when law enforcement records over interviews with alternative suspects and declines to verify alibis, when a predator's catfish account is the last contact with the victim and his entire criminal case grows out of this investigation but gets walled off as "separate" — at what point does the pattern stop looking like incompetence and start looking like something worse?
