DELPHI, Ind. (NETWORK INDIANA) — Jurors will be back Monday in Carroll Circuit Court, after ending a third day of deliberations Saturday without a verdict in the case of Richard Allen, a 52-year-old former pharmacy tech accused of the 2017 murders of Delphi eighth-graders Abby Williams and Libby German.
The sequestered jury deliberated more than five hours Saturday, before leaving the Carroll County Courthouse around 2:45 p.m. Deliberations started for the 12 jurors and three alternates Thursday afternoon and continued Friday. Since Thursday, the jury has been deliberating for 14 1/2 hours.
Saturday marked Day 20 since opening arguments.
The jury is scheduled to take a day off Sunday and then resume at 9 a.m. Monday. Judge Fran Gull set a schedule for the sequestered jury — selected in mid-October from a pool in Allen County — to deliberate from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. each day until jurors reach a verdict in the high-profile case.
The initial schedule for the trial ran through Nov. 15.
Here’s a look, again, at where things left off Thursday, after Carroll County Prosecutor Nick McLeland and Allen’s attorney Brad Rozzi presented their closing arguments after 18 days of testimony that started Oct. 18.
