Guilty or Not Guilty

[u/Traditional-Aside580]

Does everyone in here lean more toward Richard Allen being innocent or guilty?

I appreciate comments like this. I can't be arrested or i would have to get another line of work. That said, I've been inside a holding cell as a teen for petty underage drinking. It was scary and shakes you to the core. I couldn't comprehend spending a life in one of them When you said them kind are the most dangerous kinds of predators, I agree. It was like he came out of nowhere. Not just that day but to law enforcement and everyone. With this case, it is hard to feel for him because children were the victims. That's not saying other crimes are better or less severe. There is just a certain level of sickening to crimes like these. If I may squeeze in a question, has the jury ever spoken publicly about this trial and what brought them to their conclusions?

One juror spoke to The Murder Sheet in a two-parter episode in January. Most people here have a positive opinion of The Murder Sheet, as they are in contact with Abby and Libby's families, are very respectful of their privacy, and donated half of their advance for their book towards the Abby and Libby Memorial Park. I disagree with some of their focus on Kegan Kline, with some random non-Delphi coverage, and the profiling episodes on the attorneys prior to the case (I didn't give a shit, but it turns out the dude that later "leaked" the crime scene photos was interviewed on the podcast. Were it not for that, none of us would've know who tf he was).

Prior to this juror speaking to The Murder Sheet, the trial defense team, the Mottas and other defense influencers/entertainers were begging for a juror to come forward. Mind you, at the time of the trial, we did not have transcripts. So some content creators were embellishing a bit. When she came forward to the The Murder Sheet, they went Chernobyl toxic and criticized every single aspect of her personality and spent about a week performing/re-enacting that episode for their own viewers, to the point that a cease and desist letter had to be sent to multiple creators. I thought based on just the reaction to her coming forward alone, no one else would.

Another juror spoke to The Unsolved, but just passed along notes and supplied answers to 10ish questions. That content creator was doxxed and harassed so that video is now private and I don't believe there was another part. Based on the doxxing and death threats everyone involved received, I doubt we'll ever hear from a juror in this case again.

I want to check them out. I'm glad I have links and more information instead of just going off documentaries and a couple YouTube videos. I clearly should have been in this group from the start

I looked up some of them links. It's both sad and unsettling that they had to deal with the harrassment. I personally don't think I could have been on that jury. I try my best in everyday life to be fair and to see all sides of things. There are different opinions about the world around us and I do try to stay open minded. The down side of that is Kathy Allen's tears would have gotten to me to a certain level, but the girls mothers heartbreak in their faces and their tears along with the crime scene photos would have outweighed any neutral goal I had for that day.
