INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Attorneys for the man found guilty in the 2017 Delphi Murders say false testimony allowed in trial and newly discovered evidence that could upend their client’s conviction. Richard Allen, 52, was found guilty of two counts of murder and two counts for felony murder for the deaths of 13-year-old Abigail “Abby” Williams and 14-year-old Liberty “Libby” German. The girls’ bodies were found near the Monon High Bridge near Delphi on Feb. 14, 2017, a day after they went missing. Allen’s trial started Oct. 18 and spanned through mid-November, almost eight years the girls’ deaths. The 12-person jury deliberated for four days before delivering the guilty verdict on Nov. 11. He was sentenced to 130 years in prison in late December. Attorney Andrew Baldwin in a court filing submitted Tuesday requested the court either drop Allen’s convictions or grant him a new trial based on the newly discovered evidence and false testimony he claims the prosecution allowed in court. The defense claims during the state’s presentation, they allowed false testimony be presented to the court, which could upend Allen’s convictions. During the trial, the state called to the stand Brad Weber, the driver of the van that Richard Allen claims saw while trying to kill the girls. Weber’s presence, according to a confession Allen gave to a doctor in prison, scared Allen and made him move the girls closer to Deer Creek and onto property owned by Ron Logan. In Weber’s testimony, he said he arrived home “around 2:30 p.m.” on Feb. 17. The state followed this by stating data from Libby German’s phone indicated she stopped moving “exactly” at 2:32 p.m. These times, the defense says, apparently correlate with times Allen gave in his prison confession. The defense says Weber’s arrival home at 2:32 p.m. is false, stating security camera footage from a house near the Monon Trail shows Weber’s white cargo van driving toward his parent’s home at 2:44 p.m. Weber’s phone started pinging at his parent’s property at 2:50 p.m., which, according to Allen’s attorneys, cancels out Weber’s estimate of arriving home “around 2:30 p.m.” The defense’s second request stems from a newly discovered murder confession by Ron Logan, the owner of the property where Libby and Abby’s bodies were found. Logan was in jail at the time of the May 2017 confession for violating his probation on DUI charges. According to the filing, Logan confessed to an officer at the New Castle Correctional Facility that he killed the girls. Baldwin adds in the filing that the state had access to this confession yet did not present it. The officer’s handwritten documentation records Logan’s confession in great detail, where Logan described meeting with the girls on the Monon Trail, talking about knowing their parents, then taking the two off the trail and into the woods near Deer Creek before killing them with box cutters. The defense mentions in the request that the doctor performing Abby and Libby’s autopsies testified in court that the girls could have been killed with a box cutter. Logan also confessed that he’d asked his cousins to lie about his location on the afternoon of Feb. 13, 2017, and also lied to FBI investigators when they searched his property after the murders. Allen’s attorneys state he should have his convictions dropped based on the state allowing Brad Weber’s false testimony into the November trial, or be granted a new trial given the defense’s discovery of Ron Logan’s jail confession which “could change the outcome of the verdict.” It was unclear how the court would respond to these requests as of late Tuesday morning.
