In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta delves into the complexities surrounding the Richard Allen case, where Allen is accused of being the Delphi murderer. With Allen’s numerous confessions during his 22 months in custody, the defense faces challenges, particularly with the state's motion to exclude third-party culpability from being introduced in court. Motta discusses how the defense presented their case, including testimony from a seasoned expert who believes the crime scene resembled a ritualistic killing, though the state's cross-examination emphasized the lack of concrete evidence linking other suspects to the crime scene. A critical point in the discussion is the phone data from Liberty German’s phone, which unexpectedly activated at 4:33 AM, hours after the alleged time of death. Motta suggests that this phone data could significantly undermine the prosecution's timeline, offering the defense a powerful angle. He argues that the defense should focus on this data rather than pursuing the third-party theory, which may be harder to substantiate. The episode also touches on the difficulties of investigating the case so many years after the crime and the potential implications of Allen’s behavior and confessions while in custody.
