The trial is expected to last a month.
Jury selection began Monday for the Delphi double murder trial of Richard Allen , accused of killing Abby Williams and Libby German in 2017.Eight women and six men have been selected so far to a jury in the trial of a man charged in the IndianaJury selection opened Monday in the case against Richard Allen , which has long haunted the girls' hometown of Delphi and spurred endless online speculation.
Once the 12 members and four alternates are selected, they will be taken to Delphi, a town of about 3,000 residents, sequestered during trial and banned from using cellphones or watching news broadcasts. Allen, a pharmacy technician who had lived and worked in Delphi, was arrested in October 2022, nearly six years after the girls known as Abby and Libby were killed.
After years of failing to find a suspect, investigators said they went back and reviewed "prior tips." The case has seen repeated delays after evidence was leaked, Allen's public defenders withdrew and were later reinstated by the Indiana Supreme Court. The Delphi killings remain the subject of rampant speculation and theories by true-crime enthusiasts.
"The incriminating statements are going to be extremely persuasive because that's what the jury wants to hear," Johnston said.
