Emotional: Libby German's Sister Reacts After Richard Allen Found Guilty in Delphi Murder Trial

Richard Allen has been found guilty on all four counts for the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German.

The jury deliberated for approximately 19-20 hours over several days, reaching the verdict Monday afternoon.

Allen was found guilty of felony murder of both girls and guilty of knowingly and intentionally killing both girls. It took the jury less than two minutes to enter the courtroom and read the verdict.

Before sentencing was read, Special Judge Frances Gull said, "Regardless of what the verdict is, people aren't going to be happy."

The prosecution embraced as the verdict was read. Allen's lawyers were comforting him, before he was cuffed and led away. During discussion of sentencing, Allen looked at his wife, Kathy, and asked, "Are you OK?"

Outside the courtroom, the news that Allen was found guilty was greeted by cheers from the assembled crowd.

Becky Patty, Libby German's grandmother, hugged family members and cried as they left the courthouse.

Libby's sister, Kelsi, posted on Instagram writing, "Nearly 8 years, today was the day."

Allen is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 20, 2024. Indiana State Police Sgt. John Perrine says the gag order in the case will stay in place until Allen is sentenced.

Kathy Allen, Richard's wife, told 13 News "this isn't over at all" as she left the courtroom.
