The Indiana Attorney General filed its response to Richard Allen's appeal on March 25, 2026 — a ninety-four-page brief arguing that Allen's conviction for the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German should stand. Allen was convicted in November 2024 and sentenced to 130 years. His appellate attorneys raised three constitutional issues: an unconstitutional search warrant built on alleged omiss...
