Richard Allen is serving 130 years for the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German. The jury has spoken. But his defense team just filed something unprecedented—a request to submit an appeal brief nearly double the standard size. Ten issues. Nine constitutional claims. And a roadmap of everything that went wrong in this case.

In this episode, we break down the five categories of Allen's appeal and what each one reveals about how this conviction was built. From the alternative suspects the jury never heard about—including a man who allegedly confessed to the killings months after they happened—to the 1,200 pages of evidence that was blocked from trial. From the sixty-one confessions made by a man who was also confessing to crimes that provably never happened, to the thirteen months of solitary confinement that the defense says broke his mind.

No DNA linked Richard Allen to the crime scene. The state's own forensic scientist testified to that. The single piece of physical evidence—an unspent bullet—relies on contested toolmark analysis that the defense wasn't fully allowed to challenge. A volunteer clerk caught a filing error that investigators missed for five years. And a judge blocked the jury from hearing about other suspects, erased interview recordings, and an Odinism theory that law enforcement themselves investigated before dropping it without explanation.

This isn't about declaring Richard Allen innocent. It's about asking whether the state proved their case—or just closed it. Whether the jury heard what they needed to hear. Whether this was a constitutional trial or a conviction built on broken confessions and blocked evidence.

The families of Abby and Libby deserve justice. But justice isn't just an ending. It's the right ending.

Full case breakdown. Every appeal issue explained. No speculation—just the facts the defense is putting before the Indiana Court of Appeals.
