Description
On its third full day of deliberations, the jury returned a verdict in the Delphi murders case.
Just minutes after entering the courtroom, the 12 men and women announced they had found Richard Allen guilty on all four counts for the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams in February 2017.
The prosecution embraced as the verdict was read. Allen's lawyers were comforting him, before he was cuffed and led away. During discussion of sentencing, Allen looked at his wife, Kathy, and asked, "Are you OK?"
Outside the courtroom, many in the assembled crowd cheered as word of the verdict was spread outside the Carroll County Courthouse.
Allen is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 20, 2024. Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine says the gag order in the case will stay in place until Allen is sentenced.
