An Indiana man charged with killing two teenage girls will remain in prison after a judge concluded he's being treated better there than other inmates.
Delphi court documents released Wednesday say Richard Allen confessed to the murders of Liberty German and Abby Williams in a phone call to his wife.A man charged with killing two teenage girls will remain held at a northern Indiana prison after a judge concluded Wednesday he's being treated better there than other inmates.
His lawyers argued, among other things, that Allen sleeps on a pad on a concrete floor; must wear the same clothes including underwear for days that are soiled, stained, tattered and torn; and has had no chance to visit his wife or other family members in the past five months. His attorneys have described his living conditions as "akin to those of a prisoner of war."
But the judge ruled, without going into specifics, that "the evidence presented demonstrated that the Defendant is treated more favorably than other inmates housed at the Westville Correctional Facility," online court records said.In February of that year, a relative dropped them off at a hiking trail near the Monon High Bridge just outside their hometown of Delphi, about 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
The deaths were ruled a double homicide, but police have never disclosed how they died or described what evidence they gathered.The killings have haunted Delphi, a city of about 3,000, where Allen lived and worked at a local drug store.
