Description
It's been more than seven years since the bodies of Abby Williams and Libby German were found near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi. Richard Allen, the man accused of killing the two teenagers, will stand trial for the third day.
The trial began Friday, Oct. 18.
Sixteen Allen County residents were selected earlier this week to serve on the jury. Twelve of those people will begin the trial as jurors and four will serve as alternates. Testimonies will continue on the second day.
The jury is made up of eight women and four men. The four alternate jurors are two men and two women.
13News legal expert Katie Jackson-Lindsay kept close watch on the Day 3 proceedings in Delphi, including the collection of sticks found on the victims' bodies.
"They really highlighted that one, that was a piece of evidence that was found and, two, that it wasn't originally collected and they even got the witness to admit that they didn't collect it initially because they didn't think it was pertinent," Jackson-Lindsay said. "But someone must have thought it was pertinent, because they went back to get it later."
She also focused on photos brought into evidence by defense attorneys.
"When you see the defense admitting photos that either the state has already admitted a second time or they're admitting photos that the state did not admit, that really says to the jury, 'We need you to focus your attention on this particular angle that maybe the state didn't show you,' which is letting them know that there is something else they want to highlight."
