Delphi: The Detective Allegedly Left Out Every Detail That Didn't Fit His Theory

Every piece of evidence used to convict Richard Allen traces back to one document: Detective Liggett's probable cause affidavit. According to the defense's appellate filings, that document told the judge a version of events the witnesses themselves would not recognize. Betsy Blair saw Bridge Guy up close and described a man in his twenties with poofy brown hair. The affidavit allegedly included her jacket description and omitted everything else. Her sketch of the car at the scene didn't match Allen's vehicle — allegedly omitted. Sarah Carbaugh reportedly told investigators the man she saw wore a tan jacket and was muddy. The affidavit allegedly changed it to blue jacket, muddy and bloody. Blair and ISP both said Carbaugh's man and Bridge Guy were different people — allegedly omitted. Allen reportedly said he didn't know what he wore that day. The affidavit allegedly attributed a blue Carhartt admission to him. The defense argued every alleged misstatement served one purpose: making Allen look like Bridge Guy. They requested a Franks hearing. The court said no. Without this warrant, the State has no gun, no bullet comparison, no arrest, and no confessions from solitary. The defense's position is direct: the entire case is fruit of this document, and the document, they argue, is built on half-truths. The appeal will settle it. But the facts Liggett allegedly kept from the judge are the facts that would have mattered most.
