The Richard Allen appeal is fully briefed. Three judges at the Indiana Court of Appeals are now sitting on the full record, and the State of Indiana has built its entire appellate strategy around asking them not to read it too closely. Defense attorney Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski for a three-part panel breaking down where the Delphi appeal actually stands. Part One walks the procedural-versus-factual collision — Indiana's response brief refuses to engage with the van timeline, the cause-of-death mismatch, or the alternative suspect interview that was allegedly recorded over. The State leans on waiver, harmless error, procedural default. That is not the brief of a State confident in its trial record. Part Two walks the solitary confinement collision. The Indiana Department of Correction has a written rule capping solitary at 30 days for inmates with serious mental illness. Richard Allen was held there for 13 months. He lost 45 pounds. He stopped knowing whether he was alive. The State now wants three judges to call the confessions voluntary anyway. Part Three walks the strategic collision. The defense has formally requested oral arguments. The State has not. The search warrant issue gets de novo review — no deference to Judge Fran Gull — and if the panel rules the warrant was bad, the .40-caliber pistol is gone from this case and any retrial forever. Three judges. No more paper. A decision coming. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
