Regarding “one man couldn’t have done this”
Murderer’s often kidnap 2 girls so that they can threaten heinous things be done to one girl in order to get the other girl to comply. The man had a gun. Allen had no problem subduing both girls. That theory is ridiculous and offensive!

[ashleypg]

Defense attorneys sound like THEY'RE having a psychotic break.

[laurabedford]

Why would he confess to his wife and mother on jail phone, its Bs, I think hes GUILTY

[DruinStLouis]

WOW! Defense attorneys will throw anything at the wall. What a bunch of BS.

[aililenak]

Wow, I'm always amazed at the creativity from Those defense attorneys. They get more creative every time! Yes, throw out all the evidence !

Imagine having to represent a suspected monster like this? You’d have to think outside the box. I hope these families get justice for the girls. Such a tragedy

[Bebe.B.]

The girls literally filmed their killer. It was one man. This filing is ridiculous, vile and cruel to the families.

It was definitely Allen on that bridge. It was definitely Allen who said “ down the hill”. So, if this was a ritualistic act, he was part of it.

Sounds like they didn’t do their homework on Odinism. Even if there are a few people who practice it in the area, it is defined as an ancient religion that "acknowledges the gods by fostering thought, courage, honor, light, and beauty." Hmm, funny how it doesn’t mention “ritualistic sacrifice” or killing at all. That was Allen’s own contribution.

Never heard such BS....So you got him there a bullet from his gun compared to a carving on a tree from bob in 1985

[CowboyGirl]

Bologna..just mudding the water. Don't even give it credence by reporting this.

[THEhorihito]

Shame on anyone who contributed to that document.

[brendahedden]

Those ritual symbolism of sticks and markings on trees could have been there way before. Also the girls did get a cell video of one person coming down the railway Bridge.

[unstoppable]

I never saw someone loose weight while waiting for their trial like Richard did. He looks like a dead man walking 😮

[sonjastanger]

[lorrie]

All he has to do is create " reasonable doubt" with an alternate theory..and a STUPID jury would aquitte

[alyciaItalia]

The same man the confessed to his wife several times?

[magneticjanet]

SMH 🤦‍♀️ it’s laughable if they weren’t seriously trying to get evidence found at Allen’s house thrown out

[TheHighPriestessTarot_]

Didn’t he admit it though? So now they’re back tracking?

[tinamarie]

Well let's just throw this at the wall and see if it sticks. SMH 🤦‍♀️
