The Delphi Murders: REASONABLE DOUBT
On October 28, 2022, an arrest was made in connection with the murders of Liberty German and Abigail Williams. After nearly six years to the day, hundreds of thousands of dollars in resources, and unlimited support from local, state and federal agencies, the investigation into finding a killer was over.
…wasn’t it?
February 8, 2023 – Carroll County Council Meeting
Carroll County Prosecutor, Nick McLeland, is requesting money from the council to help his office prepare for the upcoming trial. McLeland is seeking to hire a special prosecutor, an additional secretary, and an additional full-time investigator for his office. During this meeting, McLeland states emphatically, at least three separate times, that the prosecutor’s office is struggling to keep up with all the work they have to do on “the case”.
The prosecutor’s words and demeanor at this meeting raise significant doubt and concern regarding both the lawfulness and the legitimacy of their arrest of Richard Matthew Allen. The search warrant connected to this arrest remains under seal.
In addition, it appears that the taskforce and members of the Indiana State Police have been contacting individuals to follow up on months-old tips… as recently as last week.
In October 2021, the former Carroll County Prosecutor, Robert Ives, had this to say about the investigation:
“In talking about arresting a suspect, the real issues are twofold. One, is there probable cause to support an arrest? And two, even if there IS probable cause, is the evidence available likely to improve if the suspect is NOT arrested? No one can be arrested for a crime unless a court determines there is probable cause – more likely than not – to believe the person committed the crime. In addition, rarely if ever does a case improve after an arrest… Generally, a person should not be arrested for a crime unless the state believes there is adequate evidence to CONVICT the suspect, that is, that the available evidence is adequate to convince a jury of the suspect’s guilt, beyond a reasonable doubt.” – Former Prosecutor Robert Ives, October 2021
Ives resigned as prosecutor mid-term in November 2017. Since then, Ives has been vocal about his belief that more information about the case should be released.
On Monday, February 13th, Prosecutor McLeland filed a motion for a protective order over the discovery, or evidence, in the case. This request is in addition to the November 2022 gag order that the state already requested, and was granted, in this case. In response to the state’s consistent overreach and blatant disregard for trial and public access laws, a cohort of media entities filed a renewed motion to grant public access…
In a case where secrecy, lies and misdirection have been standard operating procedure among the men “holding the cards“ in the investigation, the time has come for transparency and truth. The Constitution requires proof of guilt, beyond a reasonable doubt. Anything less than that is innocence.
Someone may want to inform Nick that this trial will be public, and that he had better come prepared with six years worth of solid, untainted and irrefutable evidence of Allen‘s guilt.
Anything less than that is innocence.
