Richard Allen

He's home by then.

We were not allowed inside the courthouse until they said, there's a verdict. But when we came into that courtroom, there was no sound. It was like everybody was just holding their breath. You couldn't hear people breathing or coughing like you normally did. And then they handed the judge the form and she read it like she was ripping off a Band-Aid. Count one, guilty. Count two, guilty.

Count three, guilty. Count four, guilty. And after that first guilty, you heard one gasp. And then silence. One gasp, likely from one of the victim's families. And then you hear this very silent weeping. And it was right behind me. And it was his wife, Kathy Allen, and his mom. Can you break down the four counts for us of what he was found guilty of?

The first and second counts were called felony murder. The first for Abigail Williams, the second for Libby German. And what that really refers to is it includes kidnapping in the commission of murder. And then the second two counts, three and four, are called murder felony, the opposite. And those refer to intentionally causing the deaths of these girls. Did he have a reaction?

Did he say anything? He said nothing. He looked stoic. But then at one point, he turned his head around and he looked at his wife. And he just kept nodding his head as if he was suddenly communicating to her, like, it's going to be okay. How has the community reacted to this? For the past three weeks, the people lining up outside have been people not from Delphi.

but from other parts of the country who've come in just to watch this trial. And many of those people that I interviewed were really rooting for Richard Allen. However, after the verdict, as I came down the courthouse steps, I all of a sudden hear this whoop and this round of applause, and I see the street filled with people.

People of Delphi had heard about the verdict and they came out to show their support for the families of the victims. What is next for the case, Marianne? Sentencing. Sentencing is set for December 20th. He's looking at 45 to 65 years for the deaths of each girl.

Yeah, I mean, Kathy Allen has been a constant presence there in the court. His mother has been there most days. And even though they were weeping when this came down, they had a bit of, I guess, I don't know if it's stoicism or determination that this was not going to be the end.
