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

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. **Main Points:** - Discussion on the prosecution's reliance on Richard Allen’s confessions, the unspent casing, and his admission of being at the scene. - Motta critiques the forensic evidence linking the casing to Allen’s gun, labeling it as "junk science." - The potential pitfalls of introducing a third-party culprit theory, which might confuse the jury. - Suggestion that the defense should focus on phone data to challenge the prosecution’s timeline. - Concerns about the reliability of geofence data and its impact on the case. - The importance of presenting credible and compelling expert witnesses for the defense. - The overall strategy for the defense should be to undermine the prosecution’s key evidence rather than relying on speculative theories. **Hashtags:** #RichardAllen #BobMotta #DelphiMurders #ForensicEvidence #ThirdPartyCulprit #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
