Autopsy doctor describes Abby's and Libby's injuries | Trial Day 5 | DELPHI DEBRIEF

Richard Allen's attorneys are citing testimony from the state's witnesses as they argue to allow their Odinism theory in the trial. The defense team believes the crime scene shows clear signs of ritual murder that point to a branch of Norse paganism called Odinism.

The state has argued that investigators dismissed that theory and successfully argued for special judge Frances Gull to block the defense from telling the jury about their alternative killer theory.

In a new filing Oct. 23, the defense is again asking permission to tell the jury about the theory.

Wednesday's testimony from witnesses was both graphic, hearing details from the doctor who performed autopsies on Libby German and Abby Williams, and also technical, hearing from the state trooper who analyzed data on Libby's cellphone. Jurors also heard from a witness who says she saw "bridge guy" the day of the murders walking on the side the road.

Wow. This is the very best reporting I have seen on the trial. Outstanding team, relating what was heard and seen at the trial, and also providing excellent analysis of the facts. Outstanding. Also, the team members' tone is respectful and appropriate. I have seen reporters sound all excited and energetic, in a very inappropriate way. But not this very professional team.

I hope the jurors receive counseling after the trial 😢

I can’t imagine what these little girls went through. It’s so hard to believe such evil exists. They were just little girls having fun on a sunny afternoon. It’s so absolutely unfair.

This is *SO* infuriating!
Just senseless, sick, and cold!
I can't even look at the photos on screen of Abby and Libby while they're describing their injuries. 😢
I have a 13-year-old daughter and an 18-year-old daughter.... this just gives me goosebumps! Every mother's worst nightmare!

These poor young girls what they must of went through, what evil person would want to hurt someone so badly. Specially to young kids.. I sure hope Abby and Libby get justice. R.I.P to Abby and Libby.🌹🕊️🌹🕊️

This is the most informative coverage I have listened to in this trial, thank you to the reporters and all involved in keeping the public informed about this trial. May the families someday find peace and comfort in the precious memories Abby and Libby left behind.

These reporters, the anchor, and the legal expert are top notch. I like how down to earth and genuine they are. They share their heartfelt emotion about these gruesome murders with the utmost respect and compassion. While I never listen to the gruesome details of an autopsy expert I felt I owed it to these beautiful girls - Libby and Abby - to hear every ugly detail that is shared. This is such a horrendous and savage act...it's incomprehensible. My heart goes out to Abby's and Libby's families. Thank you WTHR for your sensitive and comprehensive coverage. I wish our national news people were more like you.

I really like how the jurors are allowed to ask questions

[craftcrumbs]

Your coverage of this trial is outstanding and your legal expert is awesome! I haven't found this much info anywhere else on YouTube. Thank you!

[nancifyme]

I have searched all over YouTube, and this reporting is excellent.

I just hope they have the right person and that justice is served for these two young ladies. This crime has haunted me since it happened. My prayers go out to all the family members who have to relive this and have it open up wounds that might have started to heal. Please know we haven’t forgotten you and are hoping for justice.

Justice for Abby, Libby and their families!!❤❤❤

There WAS sexual assault! Two young girls were forced to undress or undressed by the murderer - that’s an assault

[cormacconaghan]

This has consistently been the most comprehensive and best coverage of this case. Thank you for your effotts

[tracy]

Sooo if this lady is saying she seen a man all bloody, ummm why did she not call the cops smh

[rochrabbit]

If Richard Allen is Guily wouldn’t his wife or family members recognise his clothes?? I would know my husband and his clothes anywhere.

[S-T-E-V-E]

So Richard Allen had 26 devices that he kept but threw away the one from the time of the murder? 🤨

[maybememory]

If this woman, “as local as local gets”, sees this man so clearly, wouldn’t she recognize him as a local? It sounds like everyone who saw Bridge Guy that day, no one recognized him, in a town of like 2, 000. That’s odd to me.

[annettejones]

My heart goes out to the poor families listening and observing this. Unimaginable, my love and prayers, may the family find peace and true justice to this demon.

I’ve followed this case from the start and I have to say I find it absolutely baffling. The jury have a tough job here.
