In this episode, I sit down with defense attorney and trial analyst Bob Motta to examine two major developments shaking the foundation of the Delphi case: the collapse of the timeline investigators built around the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German, and the sweeping appeal just filed on behalf of Richard Allen.

For years, the investigative timeline was treated as immutable. But in deposition after deposition, the structure starts to buckle. Bob and I dissect how key witness descriptions were reframed, how the search-warrant affidavit selectively emphasized certain statements, and how critical timestamps shifted depending on which investigator documented them. One witness described a young man and an older car — yet was later framed as having seen something “consistent” with Richard Allen. FBI involvement remains inconsistent depending on who you ask. Even the time of death varies across sworn testimony.

Then we turn to Allen’s new 130-page appeal brief — nearly double the usual size — outlining ten issues and nine constitutional claims. The defense argues the jury never heard about alternative suspects, including one who allegedly confessed. They challenge the exclusion of more than 1,200 pages of evidence, the handling of 61 unreliable confessions, the thirteen months Allen spent in solitary confinement, and the toolmark analysis behind the unspent bullet that prosecutors say ties his gun to the crime.

No DNA linked Allen to the scene. A volunteer clerk found an error that went unnoticed for five years. And a judge blocked jurors from hearing evidence that law enforcement themselves investigated early on.

This episode isn’t about guilt or innocence — it’s about whether the system followed its own rules, and whether the conviction can stand on the foundation the state built.

Full breakdown. Every issue explained. No speculation — just the record.
