DELPHI, Ind. — The judge overseeing the case against Richard Allen, the man accused of killing Abby Williams and Libby German in 2017, said Friday that the jury trial will stay in Carroll County, but the jury will be selected from a different county.

Judge Fran Gull cited the burden moving the trial would place on witnesses and the families of the girls and Allen. However, Judge Gull also said it was “painfully clear” that it would be “next to impossible” to find an impartial jury in the county.

Allen’s defense team had originally asked the judge to move the trial more than 150 miles away from Delphi, citing statistical data showing the local interest in the case and possible conflicts of interest.

Why would a local jury not care about the real perpetrator being judged for the murders?
