Bob Motta On How The State Will Try To Prove Richard Allen Is the Delphi Murderer

Delphi Murders: The Trial Of Richard Allen

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the complex legal challenges in the case against Richard Allen, accused of the Delphi murders. The conversation focuses on the prosecution's strategy, which hinges on Allen’s prison confessions, the presence of an unspent casing allegedly linked to his gun, and his admission of being at the crime scene. Motta emphasizes the difficulty the prosecution will face in proving Allen's guilt, particularly since he has no criminal history or suspicious behavior. He suggests that the defense should concentrate on dismantling the prosecution's evidence, especially the forensic link between the casing and Allen's gun, which Motta believes is "junk science." He also discusses the risks of the defense presenting a third-party culprit theory, as it could confuse the jury by introducing competing narratives. Instead, Motta advocates focusing on phone data, which might offer a stronger basis for reasonable doubt by undermining the prosecution's timeline. He warns that relying too heavily on speculative theories could backfire, and urges a strategic approach centered on discrediting the state’s evidence.
