The Delphi Murders: A Recap Of Day Number 9 Of The Richard Allen Trial (10/29/24)

The Epstein Chronicles

On Day 9 of Richard Allen's trial in the Delphi murders case, the courtroom saw testimony from crime scene investigator Pat Cicero, who provided detailed blood pattern analysis. Cicero explained that blood patterns on the bodies of Libby German and Abby Williams indicated movement after their deaths. He testified that Libby's body appeared to have been moved or dragged, and Abby may have been restrained during her injuries, although no evidence of binding was found. Cicero also pointed out that there was no blood on Abby’s hands, which he found unusual for such injuries. The analysis presented indicated that both girls were likely moved after they died, contributing to the prosecution's claim that there was an attempt to alter the crime scene. Cicero’s testimony included graphic images, which caused visible emotional reactions from the jury and family members present in the courtroom.
DNA analysis was also a key focus during Day 9. Indiana State Police DNA analyst Stacy Bozinovski testified that no DNA matching Richard Allen was found on Libby or Abby's bodies, nor on the items seized from his home. This testimony became a central point of contention for the defense, as they highlighted the lack of direct DNA evidence linking Allen to the crime. Bozinovski also discussed the limited reliability of some testing methods and mentioned that additional samples could have been tested but were not. The defense used this lack of conclusive DNA evidence to argue for reasonable doubt in Allen's involvement in the murders. The day concluded with emotional moments and pointed questions, leaving the jury with conflicting narratives regarding the presence or absence of physical evidence tying Allen to the crime scene.
