Will The Judge Allow Richard Allen To Present A 3rd Party Culprit In Court?

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta discusses the upcoming trial of Richard Allen, focusing on the recent legal motions and their implications for the defense strategy. The trial, set for October, is fast approaching, with Judge Gull recently denying the defense’s motion to dismiss the case. Motta explains that this denial was expected, as such motions are rarely granted. He emphasizes the importance of the timeline in this case, noting that the state has established a narrow window for the time of death based on activity from Libby German’s phone. Motta points out that the defense should challenge this timeline, especially given that the girls' body temperatures were not taken, and no official time of death was determined by the medical examiner. Additionally, ongoing forensic analysis of Libby’s phone, seven years after the crime, could provide the defense with opportunities to create reasonable doubt. Motta suggests that the defense may argue that the phone’s reactivation was intentional by the killer, aiming to ensure the bodies were found. The discussion highlights the critical role that the timeline and phone data will play in the upcoming trial.
