Attorneys for Richard Matthew Allen released a fiery statement Thursday, after the father-of-two was arrested for the murders of two Delphi, Indiana teenagers.
, who was charged last month with two counts of murder in the killings of German, 14, and Williams, 13. Allen purchased the gun in 2001 and told investigators that “he never allowed anyone to use or borrow” it.
“It is a bit premature to engage in any detailed discussions regarding the veracity of this evidence until more discovery is received, but it is safe to say that the discipline of tool-mark identification is anything but a science,” they say. They say Allen met with a conservation officer and confirmed he had recalled seeing three younger girls on the trail that day but that contact was “brief” and of “little significance.” He didn’t hear from police for another five years, until October 22.
