Well it's an actual News Network and journalists have to give facts, they can't just make up a bunch of bullshit like some of the UA-camrs and biased defense attorneys.
I mean.. I'm not suggesting that this particular story is a lie... I'm just saying you shouldn't blindly trust the main stream media. They lie. A lot. @@ArohaStill
I live in Minneapolis, and I chose this team coverage the 2nd day of the trial for the concise, orderly and respectful coverage of a very emotional trial and Emily, Bob and Sam couldn't have done a better job. You have shown respect for both sides and for the jury daily. Consummate professionals even though you couldn't block out the images and hard testimony from your minds, you helped us understand the process in there. Thank you!
I agree however you got to give Katy the attorney her props as well! She really helped put things in perspective from a legal standpoint point of view. Great coverage & I watch a lot of UA-camrs as well. You guys did the best. I just pray that we really did get justice today. This case just had so many holes. Rip to Libby & Abby 🙏🏼🤍
@@simonegarciatsu2854do you have any idea how offensive your comment is speculating about whether we got Justice today or not like the guy butchered the girls he's guilty as Sin and yet people like you who are delinquent as hell watching UA-camrs are spreading misinformation and trying to make it seem like there was some sort of Court misconduct there never was like go to hell
@@ArohaStill wow gth is aggressive my dude. We are all allowed to have and express our opinions. I have mainly only watched lawyers reviews on the case. That is what I meant when I say other UA-cam channels. Attorneys that give their take. Anyone who has payed any attention to this case knows that there were holes in the case. From missing trail cam footage to not testing extra dna. Those are just facts. A lot of possible reasons for the jury to find reasonable doubt. I’m glad this case ended the way it did but I would be lying if there isn’t a small part of my gut that is horrified if possibly there was someone else responsible or maybe RA did not do this alone. That is all and no need to curse me out.
there like the pod casters;;they had it wrong from the start;;flip flopping like fish out of water;;gray hughes was the only one who found RA guilty from day one;;and never changed his mind;;had facts that proved he was right;;hats off to gray hughes;; a real investagator pod caster;;the rest are all fakes;;only there to make money off the two dead girls;;gray donated hundreds in the girls names to there soft ball park;;
This coverage has just been astounding. Professional, intelligent, unbiased, clear and concise. Thank you team for all of your hard work on behalf of the public, and more importantly, Abby and Libby 💜💙
Minus the way they behaved outside the courthouse. Believe they barely have the public in mind. Ask folks who lined up for long periods before each day began.
@@Desaree1 I am not sure what you mean. The regular news outlets (media) were given a certain number of courtroom spots separate from UA-camrs and the general public. I know there were line sitters and such. But to my knowledge no mainstream media was in that line. (If that’s what you’re referring to).
This was the most unbiased, sincere, and respectful reporting that I have ever seen. Thank you so much for your contribution and support for the families of Abby and Libby ❤
Just because these murders were committed just off the path of an abandoned rail system, it doesn't mean this judge has the right to railroad this guy.😮
@@bobbyswain7049He absolutely did not receive a fair trial. Judge was biased. Also, it’s shocking to me how many people out there are willing to put a man behind bars for life, with so little evidence. I don’t know he’s innocent by any means but there’s no way you can say he’s guilty based off the piss poor evidence given.
That little white devil is GUILTY AS SIN. Now go cry about it. You support this coward instead of Libby’s courage in recording this demonic murderer on her phone. You have ABSOLUTELY NO DISCERNMENT.
AMAZING COVERAGE! These two reporters deserve an Huge Award for their fantastic job, detailed description of such complicated and brutal evidence and non-bias analysis of the case! One of the very few times that YT knocks it out of the park with their suggestion of this news channel. 🥇
Today is The Day!!!! You did it Libby!!! You wanted to solve crimes when you got older but that was stolen away from you by Richard Allen but you did get to solve your own murder. Without your video, we would not be here. You did that, Libby You did that!!!!
It wasn't right for them to torment him at the jail trying to convince him that he killed The two girls. It made him go insane. The police do work in that way. They tried to put me in a crime that I never was committed in. The sheriff's department came at me five times tried to put me involved. I told him the fifth time they come at me again and I was going to get a lawsuit against them. I never seen them again because I was not involved in stealing a change box for donations off a gas station counter
Your coverage of this trial has been the absolute best - what journalism should always aspire to be. You devoted incredible resources to deliver the facts, thorough and evenhanded, day after day. You sat through a grueling trial taking notes of every sight and sound for the better part of a month and worked virtually around the clock to be in a position to do it for us. Thank you and congratulations for what you have accomplished.
Bob & Emily done a fantastic job on reporting this case. I could not imagine what it was like to be in that court room but you folks did an outstanding job. I followed this case from the beginning and these reporters kept us up to speed each and every day! Thank you WTHR for the unbelievable coverage. RIP Libby and Abby!
Well, the jury found him guilty because - (1) been on the trail at the exact same time as these poor girls (2) confessed over 60 times. (3) is a local man who’s seen these girls over and over at the CVS … (4) unspent cartridge is scientifically proven to be exact match to his gun (5) could easily pass for bridge guy (6) admitted to wearing pretty much same clothing as bridge guy… & on and on and on and on ad Infinitum… He’s not mentally incapacitated!!!!! He turned around at the reading of the verdict & clearly asked his wife - “are you ok”.?!! We all Just want some kind of justice for these 2 poor girls after all these years …
It's simply not correct to say that cartridge was an "exact match". Expert herself even admitted she can't rule out other guns she just thinks it's the closest match.
Best reporting of Delphi! In my opinion better than any of the Law & Crime channels. I’m sure it wasn’t easy; the team deserves a well deserved vacation!
You all did an extraordinary job covering this! Not just with great detail, but your incredible unbiased reporting is something a lot of major news networks could learn from.
Thank you for your great coverage. Your pain was palpable at the whole experience, and I empathize and appreciate all you have done. It was nice to see your very human sides on this very difficult case.
I followed the case since the day the girls went missing. All the pressers, the family interviews, some youtubers, news agencies. I checked in all these years. You ok girl? Who angered you today?
@@MaddymomhatShe didn’t seem “angered” to me. Just asking a question. I also have a question…How can you feel this verdict was the right one when there was so very little evidence? There should be zero doubt before convicting a man for murder.
This was the best coverage of this case. You are all so respectful of the process and the families. Thank you for being real media. I miss this kind of reporting. Very sad case and I hope you don’t have another like it but please don’t stop brining us clear and real reporting.

Amazing reporting throughout and Katie is a genius. Such a fabulous team. Nothing but the highest respect for the girls, their families, and the jurors in this case.
Oh, my God. Emily and Bob sharing their personal impressions on this trial and what led to it is the most incredibly touching thing.

Thank you both for an amazing job and for your kind, respectful, and loving presence.
When you have a good skill, it is normal for you to be global and for your name to be recommended to many people and from what I heard about Josh Olfert, his strategies must be really good
❤ thank you all for the excellent coverage of this heart breaking story. I watched you guys every night and learned so much about our system and how it works. It touched me the most to see how much you guys truly care about Abby and Libby, and all the families that have been affected by this horrible tragedy. Thank you again! Excellent work ❤
Sad that judge wouldnt allow geo data in 3 cell phones in area of scene at time none were RA..jury didnt get all evidence. And funds werent there for defence to get experts.
@@chumchum4393no he was not. Evidence was not submitted to court that would have pointed to other people. He did not get a fair trial. He had no History of violence and no history of messing with children. Other men from the area did. One man asked "If my DNA was found on the girls would that make me guilty?". That was not allowed into court. This trial is a travesty.
Are we sure he did it? I hear so much other evidence that said there were others involved, and original police were corrupt/negligent. I hope the familys can find peace. Things don’t seem to add up. I hope more evidence is released shortly so this makes sense to the rest of the world, who have been following for years
They had to find him guilty..imagine what would happen if they didn't... State should be sued for the way he was treated there. Regardless of the verdict....
Well in Alabama 323 ppl died in State prison since 2023. He was safer in federal prison it's not the spa. Ask for prison reform change it or stop complaining
Well in Alabama 323 ppl died in State prison since 2023. He was safer in federal prison it's not the spa. Ask for prison reform change it or stop complaining
Your coverage of this trial was professional and fair. Two things this trial was NOT! Richard Allen is innocent and the jurors will likely be haunted by their verdict once they get to know what has been hidden from them. The judge should be disbarred and the prison psychologist be indicted for creating false testimony and absolutely unethical behavior. It's DISGUSTING what happened to Richard Allen and I know the parents won't find peace knowing that the real killers are still roaming freely.
I think Kelsi, Libbys sister should have been looked at more. They didn't even check her phone, yet her hair with roots were found in Abbys hand. She's made many inconsistencies in things she's said. They obviously have a troubled background. Their mum is DA, dont know about the dad but theyre being brought up by the grandparents. Maybe Kelsi was struggling when she was a teen and has some MH issues. I dont think its far fetched to believe she could have been jealous of Libby being the youngest child, and she and her friends could have been taking 💊 and unalived them in 💊 fuelled frenzy an a left them in a cultish scene.(A lot of troubled teens are into cult like programmes,) after she dropped them off. From what I've heard, she wasn't really concerned about Libbys death until the case was revived again. I can't get past her phone not being looked at 😮
What did the jury see when the asked to watch the video during deliberation??? Gull had issues with playing the audio portion of the video during trial. Did they rig it to look or sound like RA or both?????
Wow. So impressed in this coverage. I lost my sister due to a crime like this in 1985 and amazingly they just found the guy and he is going through the process in FL now. But back to this loss that Delphi is experiencing. Just wow. It’s honorable to see the technical, evidentiary, simplicity, and most of all, the personal touch you guys have done here. For a person that really enjoys following cases, the way you handled this reminds me of the most important part: the girls. And they are right, the victims get lost sometimes in these situations. Hats off guys. The network should be proud.
The appeal issues are going to immense in this case just regarding Judge Gull, let alone all the others, hopefully justice prevails either way. Prayers for Abby and Libby's family as well for the Allen family.
So who was the young guy in his 20s with the bushy curly hair that several witnesses saw at the trail, and who formed the basis of the second released suspect sketch? Was he imagined or was he actually at the scene but has yet to come forward or be traced?
I wholly agree. The police released a 2nd suspect sketch of that young guy. Since he's never been found, identified and cleared, IMO that should've created reasonable doubt for the jury.
Thank you for this amazing coverage. I’m in Canada and social media isn’t allowed to show news articles and such anymore, so I got all my info about this trial from you and your Delphi Debriefs. I found your coverage very informative without being too long or overwhelming, as well as unbiased. Seeing you emotional today made me emotional. These girls have made a real impact on so many people, far and wide. Thank you for being real, and professional, and dedicated.
I don't know if Richard Allen is guilty or not(in reality), but this wasn't a fair trial. That judge found against the defense on almost every decision. I wish the jury had gotten all the evidence, both excullatory and otherwise. THEN, their decision wouldn't have been second guessed as much.
These jurors were very good. The questions they asked were excellent showing how smart and into the case they were. No matter what you feel you need to respect them and what they did
Having this wonderful attorney on your program is the best part. She explained the process in the most calm and non biased way. People didn’t say they saw RA. They said they saw the guy in the video. Nobody pointed to him. When they picked up their prescriptions and the picture was right there - nobody thought it was him. And the confessions never came until after he was isolated, abused, and threatened so badly he became psychotic.
Those girls did not get justice at all and neither did Richard Allen. The real killers are still out there and that judge was protecting them. And that's because they're all connected. There was literally no evidence that Richard Allen did this but there was tons of evidence pointing to other men from the area. Those girls are not resting at all.
Kathy Allen, You're so right. This isn't over because many of us believe that you also should be charged. You knew that was your husband on that bridge in Libby's video. You knew that was your husband's voice in Libby's video but you chose not to say anything. You did however delete all the pictures of Rick on your Facebook page and I also find it very odd that you didn't have not one post about Abby and Libby. You didn't even have the bridge guy poster and you all lived just minutes from the trails. While many others all around the world shared it. That speaks volumes.
Woah, that's inappropriate, and you should be ashamed. She's just as much as a victim as anyone. And your wild out of pocket comment is disgraceful and untrue.
Thank you to you both for being so incredibly amazing. Your emotions just show how deeply involved you both were in this case. God bless all of the channel 13 team. I watched no other but you.
The jurors were the finders of fact, and I respect their guilty verdict, and I think the jury got it right! They had a difficult job and I commend their efforts and their sacrifices in order to bring about Justice for Abby and Libby and their families. Prayers for Abby and Libby's families now as this verdict has likely stirred their pain and sorrow back up to the surface. I pray they heal, and I pray the community of Delphi can now heal as well. And I also pray for Richard Allen's family, including his wife, daughter and mother, that they are able to come to a place of acceptance and that they too may be comforted in their pain and grief.
I think they got it right too. People in the comments forget we are only getting snippets of hours of testimony. He did it and got found guilty for it. Good verdict.
Someone suffering from psychosis to the point where they’re eating their own poop is a highly suggestible person… psychologist is an Internet sleuth deeply interested in the case long before Mr Allen was known. The van interruption came from the Internet FIST then Richard confirms?? Weird or coached.. Between unable to match the bullet without firing it, his unstained clothing, eye witnesses descriptions all point in another direction
RA is innocent and this group of idiots just convicted an innocent man. If you heard the evidence and thought he was guilty then you deserve the karma that will come your way
This man is NOT GUILTY. I'm not saying I know for a fact he's innocent but I know for a fact he's NOT GUILTY! This is a shoddy investigation and coverage.
This case and cases like it scare me for our criminal justice system. I don’t know if he’s guilty or not and no one will truly ever know but there is so much reasonable doubt that I would ever on the side of caution. This case and Karen read have me scared to ever be in trouble.
I’m genuinely glad so many of you feel a sense of peace. I personally don’t. I don’t believe in 5 years, no one recognized BG as RA. I still don’t know if BG was the killer. There was zero evidence and zero DNA tying RA to the hill. I wanted to see Libby & Abby receive earthly justice… but I don’t feel they did. I’m shocked the jury was not given all the information and the verdict was guilty based on what they had. Someone out there knows the truth, the whole truth… not what LE and the media wanted the public to believe.
Libby and Abby had their lives taken and the pure terror they were put through and they are just babies let's feel the sympathy for them.Richard Allen put himself there confessed sixty something times I'm sure there's plenty we haven't heard since we were not there
Thanks WTHR, especially appreciate Katie's knowledge and input. I hope you guys get the first interviews with the juror's. I really feel for them, given how they were denied key evidence regarding 3rd party culprits, and FBI agent testimony. I still cannot wrap my head around how anyone could commit these murders in a 19 minute time frame, given the state's own timeline.
I have watched this outstanding debrief each day from france. You have been outsanding and it clearly have raken a toll on both of you take care of yourself and take a well deserved rest. Bravo à tous
Libby wanted to grow up and solve crimes and today she solved the biggest crime for her and her best friend Abby Williams that were kidnapped and murdered. Today is the day and I know this will forever hurt. I hope healing for all families can begin. 💜 💙 💜 💙
@@lindseyleedLindsay you should really reassess your life and your whole disposition because you are a filthy filthy disgusting irrational insane person
Justice was served today. Thank God! If he got out, he could’ve and would’ve done this to someone else’s child again. Abby and Libby are heroes for getting that video. They lost their lives, but he’s locked up because of them, and he will never hurt another child in his pathetic life. Rest in peace beautiful girls. 👼 👼❤️
Thanks so much for the excellent coverage of the Delphi murders. I live down south but am very familiar with the area. I also watch alot of live trials.
Just wow! I cant see how the victims families are okay with this verdict after this failure of a trial, the only way to be happy with this outcome as a family member of these girls is to know that someone you love got away with murder...what closure are they getting? You still have no answers and the broken time-line and the lack of evidence and to hear the investigation was botched from the beginning...you still trust this agency? My shock is the reaction of the victims family .... nothing in this trial has convinced me they have the right guy...how could they possibly be okay with this
I see why the jury found him guilty. I leaned guilty personally. But the way Judge Gull handled this case was disgraceful and undermines the verdict. Thanks WTHR for your excellent coverage of this case!

Same here, transfers from £4000 to £15400 in just 2 weeks, it's really the best
It seems that expert Josh Olfert never surprises me - I also trade with him, his strategies are top notch and I do not joke with him.
When you have a good skill, it is normal for you to be global and for your name to be recommended to many people and from what I heard about Josh Olfert, his strategies must be really good
❤ thank you all for the excellent coverage of this heart breaking story. I watched you guys every night and learned so much about our system and how it works. It touched me the most to see how much you guys truly care about Abby and Libby, and all the families that have been affected by this horrible tragedy. Thank you again! Excellent work ❤
Sad that judge wouldnt allow geo data in 3 cell phones in area of scene at time none were RA..jury didnt get all evidence. And funds werent there for defence to get experts.
we needed you guys ❤thank you
This verdict feels wrong.
Right!!
So sad.
He admitted it without duress. Evidence pointed to him. So the jury made the right decision.
Your idea of duress is a little different from most
@@Joe_Biden_is_Trash Nope.
Richard Allen has been guilty from day one.
@@chumchum4393no he was not. Evidence was not submitted to court that would have pointed to other people. He did not get a fair trial. He had no History of violence and no history of messing with children. Other men from the area did. One man asked "If my DNA was found on the girls would that make me guilty?". That was not allowed into court. This trial is a travesty.
@@chumchum4393He might be but he was tortured , so that confession is clouded .
Are we sure he did it?
I hear so much other evidence that said there were others involved, and original police were corrupt/negligent.
I hope the familys can find peace.
Things don’t seem to add up.
I hope more evidence is released shortly so this makes sense to the rest of the world, who have been following for years
Allen confessed multiple times to his family, in letters, and to law enforcement. So glad Libby had a sense to record when she felt threatened.
They had to find him guilty..imagine what would happen if they didn't...
State should be sued for the way he was treated there.
Regardless of the verdict....
Agreed. This case really bothers me.
Agreed . This wasn't a fair trial. Regardless of verdict
Well in Alabama 323 ppl died in State prison since 2023. He was safer in federal prison it's not the spa. Ask for prison reform change it or stop complaining

It’s a Red state. Ignorance prevails
Your coverage of this trial was professional and fair. Two things this trial was NOT! Richard Allen is innocent and the jurors will likely be haunted by their verdict once they get to know what has been hidden from them. The judge should be disbarred and the prison psychologist be indicted for creating false testimony and absolutely unethical behavior. It's DISGUSTING what happened to Richard Allen and I know the parents won't find peace knowing that the real killers are still roaming freely.
I think Kelsi, Libbys sister should have been looked at more. They didn't even check her phone, yet her hair with roots were found in Abbys hand. She's made many inconsistencies in things she's said. They obviously have a troubled background. Their mum is DA, dont know about the dad but theyre being brought up by the grandparents. Maybe Kelsi was struggling when she was a teen and has some MH issues. I dont think its far fetched to believe she could have been jealous of Libby being the youngest child, and she and her friends could have been taking 💊 and unalived them in 💊 fuelled frenzy an a left them in a cultish scene.(A lot of troubled teens are into cult like programmes,) after she dropped them off. From what I've heard, she wasn't really concerned about Libbys death until the case was revived again. I can't get past her phone not being looked at 😮
Word going around is it was you who did it.
@@IzzyMariel yeah OK Kelsi 😂
Watched you guys every morning on this case, you guys did an excellent job covering thanks to everyone for all you did!
You guys are amazing. Professional, empathetic, sympathetic and great team players. Sad I won't be listening to you guy's coverage anymore.
Good job!
What did the jury see when the asked to watch the video during deliberation??? Gull had issues with playing the audio portion of the video during trial. Did they rig it to look or sound like RA or both?????
I listened to audio of him on his wife's FB when he was first arrested. He sounds exactly like BG. He is BG
Wow. So impressed in this coverage. I lost my sister due to a crime like this in 1985 and amazingly they just found the guy and he is going through the process in FL now. But back to this loss that Delphi is experiencing. Just wow. It’s honorable to see the technical, evidentiary, simplicity, and most of all, the personal touch you guys have done here. For a person that really enjoys following cases, the way you handled this reminds me of the most important part: the girls. And they are right, the victims get lost sometimes in these situations. Hats off guys. The network should be proud.
Just like many others have said, this coverage is the most professional, respectful and unbiased I’ve ever seen. Thank you!
If they didn't find him guilty yes they would have had a hell of a lawsuit against them and that's what they didn't want
Excellent coverage of the Delphi trial from start to finish. Absolutely my first go to for coverage and updated information.
The appeal issues are going to immense in this case just regarding Judge Gull, let alone all the others, hopefully justice prevails either way. Prayers for Abby and Libby's family as well for the Allen family.
Something smells dirty in Delphi.
very dirty
So who was the young guy in his 20s with the bushy curly hair that several witnesses saw at the trail, and who formed the basis of the second released suspect sketch? Was he imagined or was he actually at the scene but has yet to come forward or be traced?
I wholly agree. The police released a 2nd suspect sketch of that young guy. Since he's never been found, identified and cleared, IMO that should've created reasonable doubt for the jury.
Thank you for this amazing coverage. I’m in Canada and social media isn’t allowed to show news articles and such anymore, so I got all my info about this trial from you and your Delphi Debriefs. I found your coverage very informative without being too long or overwhelming, as well as unbiased. Seeing you emotional today made me emotional. These girls have made a real impact on so many people, far and wide. Thank you for being real, and professional, and dedicated.
I don't know if Richard Allen is guilty or not(in reality), but this wasn't a fair trial. That judge found against the defense on almost every decision. I wish the jury had gotten all the evidence, both excullatory and otherwise. THEN, their decision wouldn't have been second guessed as much.
These jurors were very good. The questions they asked were excellent showing how smart and into the case they were. No matter what you feel you need to respect them and what they did
You two are the best yet. I chocked with you. Keep yourself safe. Thank you
Chocked ???
Oh the tears at the end ❤ I was crying with you. The correct verdict for me.
Thank you and sending love from Essex, UK
Having this wonderful attorney on your program is the best part. She explained the process in the most calm and non biased way.
People didn’t say they saw RA. They said they saw the guy in the video.
Nobody pointed to him.
When they picked up their prescriptions and the picture was right there - nobody thought it was him.
And the confessions never came until after he was isolated, abused, and threatened so badly he became psychotic.
Those girls did not get justice at all and neither did Richard Allen. The real killers are still out there and that judge was protecting them. And that's because they're all connected. There was literally no evidence that Richard Allen did this but there was tons of evidence pointing to other men from the area. Those girls are not resting at all.
So very sad for Libby and Abby , and the Allen family . I am not convinced at all , as too much was not allowed or missing .
I live in Scotland and I'm glad I found your coverage, great work, concise, unbiased and easy to understand!
Outstanding coverage, start to finish. Thank y'all! ❤
Kathy Allen, You're so right. This isn't over because many of us believe that you also should be charged. You knew that was your husband on that bridge in Libby's video. You knew that was your husband's voice in Libby's video but you chose not to say anything. You did however delete all the pictures of Rick on your Facebook page and I also find it very odd that you didn't have not one post about Abby and Libby. You didn't even have the bridge guy poster and you all lived just minutes from the trails. While many others all around the world shared it. That speaks volumes.
Obstruction charge for Kathy
Woah, that's inappropriate, and you should be ashamed.
She's just as much as a victim as anyone. And your wild out of pocket comment is disgraceful and untrue.
@@kristenjustkristen9462 you are truly disgusting if you think she is as much a victim as anyone. RA attracts the lowest of the low as his supporters.
Kathy knows exactly what happened.
You are a rotten soul.
Thank you to you both for being so incredibly amazing. Your emotions just show how deeply involved you both were in this case. God bless all of the channel 13 team. I watched no other but you.
The jurors were the finders of fact, and I respect their guilty verdict, and I think the jury got it right! They had a difficult job and I commend their efforts and their sacrifices in order to bring about Justice for Abby and Libby and their families. Prayers for Abby and Libby's families now as this verdict has likely stirred their pain and sorrow back up to the surface. I pray they heal, and I pray the community of Delphi can now heal as well. And I also pray for Richard Allen's family, including his wife, daughter and mother, that they are able to come to a place of acceptance and that they too may be comforted in their pain and grief.
Too limited
I think they got it right too. People in the comments forget we are only getting snippets of hours of testimony. He did it and got found guilty for it. Good verdict.
This is far from over
@PrimetimeKCL Thank you for posting. Very well said.
Yes HE did it, he didnt want to get up on the stand so the jury could hear his voice, wore and admit the clothes as bridge guy, wifey in denial
Someone suffering from psychosis to the point where they’re eating their own poop is a highly suggestible person…
psychologist is an Internet sleuth deeply interested in the case long before Mr Allen was known. The van interruption came from the Internet FIST then Richard confirms?? Weird or coached..
Between unable to match the bullet without firing it, his unstained clothing, eye witnesses descriptions all point in another direction
Have you ever heard of the boys on the tracks?? There are so many similarities of these cases.
RA is innocent and this group of idiots just convicted an innocent man. If you heard the evidence and thought he was guilty then you deserve the karma that will come your way
Wifey knew it was him and doesn’t care.
@@ShermanVonGee Oh are you God? 😂Karma coming our way….. please seek help immediately! Smh
This man is NOT GUILTY. I'm not saying I know for a fact he's innocent but I know for a fact he's NOT GUILTY! This is a shoddy investigation and coverage.
Watching from Wisconsin. I appreciate the excellent job your team did
This case and cases like it scare me for our criminal justice system. I don’t know if he’s guilty or not and no one will truly ever know but there is so much reasonable doubt that I would ever on the side of caution. This case and Karen read have me scared to ever be in trouble.
The jury decided it for you GUILTY
I’m genuinely glad so many of you feel a sense of peace. I personally don’t. I don’t believe in 5 years, no one recognized BG as RA. I still don’t know if BG was the killer. There was zero evidence and zero DNA tying RA to the hill. I wanted to see Libby & Abby receive earthly justice… but I don’t feel they did. I’m shocked the jury was not given all the information and the verdict was guilty based on what they had. Someone out there knows the truth, the whole truth… not what LE and the media wanted the public to believe.
Doesn't it remind you of boys on the tracks??
The corruption went all the way up to the governor.
you didn't hear the evidence the jury heard maybe we need to hear it before we decide
I agree with you. Unfair trial. I hope the truth comes out some day.
@@susan-oc9cbthe truth came out and he was found guilty because of it. Stop defending a child killer.
Libby and Abby had their lives taken and the pure terror they were put through and they are just babies let's feel the sympathy for them.Richard Allen put himself there confessed sixty something times I'm sure there's plenty we haven't heard since we were not there
Thank you for the amazing coverage. You should all feel such a sense of pride in your team and your reporting. The public is indebted to you
Thank you for your excellent coverage!!
Thanks WTHR, especially appreciate Katie's knowledge and input. I hope you guys get the first interviews with the juror's. I really feel for them, given how they were denied key evidence regarding 3rd party culprits, and FBI agent testimony. I still cannot wrap my head around how anyone could commit these murders in a 19 minute time frame, given the state's own timeline.
An innocent man railroaded by the injustice system. Im so sorry Rick and Kathy and for Libby and Abby and families still without justice😢
A guilty man received his verdict.......guilty as charged
@ I just don’t agree but there r many mixed feelings on this and I can respect yours
I don’t believe he did it either.
@@jenniferhoff1630he didn’t do it.
They have LIED TO THEIR VIEWERS FROM THE BEGINNING. IF THEY HAD YOU WOULD KNOW THIS MAN IS NOT GUILTY 😢
Excellent coverage.
Heartfelt reporting! 🙏🩵💜🩷
I have watched this outstanding debrief each day from france. You have been outsanding and it clearly have raken a toll on both of you take care of yourself and take a well deserved rest. Bravo à tous
Oh Cathy, this IS over. He's DONE. He will never hurt another soul.
THank you two for your great reporting. Real pros
Great coverage on this, WTHR, best of all.
Libby wanted to grow up and solve crimes and today she solved the biggest crime for her and her best friend Abby Williams that were kidnapped and murdered. Today is the day and I know this will forever hurt. I hope healing for all families can begin. 💜 💙 💜 💙
Oh her sister “the star” the only dna found at the scene…
@@lindseyleedLindsay you should really reassess your life and your whole disposition because you are a filthy filthy disgusting irrational insane person
@@lindseyleed🤦
@@lindseyleed💯 the jury wasn't given the whole stoy
@@lindseyleed this is the first time ive heard that?
Best reporting on a case I've ever seen, well done WTHR Team!
Justice was served today. Thank God! If he got out, he could’ve and would’ve done this to someone else’s child again. Abby and Libby are heroes for getting that video. They lost their lives, but he’s locked up because of them, and he will never hurt another child in his pathetic life.
Rest in peace beautiful girls. 👼 👼❤️
Got it wrong. How? RA Is innocent, and that will come out
Thanks so much for the excellent coverage of the Delphi murders. I live down south but am very familiar with the area. I also watch alot of live trials.
Thank you for posting. I agree.
Richard Allen got screwed
Richard Allen screwed himself by mrdring 2 innocent kids
Just wow! I cant see how the victims families are okay with this verdict after this failure of a trial, the only way to be happy with this outcome as a family member of these girls is to know that someone you love got away with murder...what closure are they getting? You still have no answers and the broken time-line and the lack of evidence and to hear the investigation was botched from the beginning...you still trust this agency? My shock is the reaction of the victims family .... nothing in this trial has convinced me they have the right guy...how could they possibly be okay with this
I know they're not. And bp was mad and upset when she left. I can't imagine.
Reminds me of the boys on the tracks case so much.😢
Delusional rambling. The families of both girls know the killer has been convicted today.
💯
@@WillBlindYouWithLight delulu
Internal affairs needs to investigate Delphi top to bottom. This judge also
I see why the jury found him guilty. I leaned guilty personally. But the way Judge Gull handled this case was disgraceful and undermines the verdict. Thanks WTHR for your excellent coverage of this case!
Don’t honestly think he did it alone. There are other offenders still out there
