This is the Delphi appeal — start to finish.Defense attorney Bob Motta walks through the full scope of the case now before the appellate court: a warrant allegedly built on omissions and altered statements, a year of extreme solitary confinement that preceded multiple confessions, and a trial where critical defense evidence was never allowed in front of the jury. At every stage, the appeal raises the same question: were constitutional protections followed — or bypassed — to secure a

The jury convicted Richard Allen — but the appeal argues they never saw the full picture. They didn’t see the eyewitness sketch rated “10 out of 10” by the witness who helped create it — a sketch that looked nothing like Allen. They didn’t hear expert testimony challenging the reliability of the State’s bullet-matching evidence. They didn’t hear about alternative suspects, unverified alibis, or investigative paths involving ritualistic elements that were explored and then excluded. The jury also

Before trial. Presumed innocent. No criminal history. And yet Richard Allen spent over a year in maximum-security solitary confinement — a unit designed for the most dangerous convicted offenders. According to the appeal, Allen entered prison coherent and physically stable. Months later, he was psychotic, severely underweight, eating feces, drinking toilet water, and making confessions while asking if he was already dead. The State of Indiana already knew what prolonged solitary does to mentally

Everything in the Delphi case traces back to one document: the probable cause affidavit used to search Richard Allen’s home. According to the appeal, that affidavit didn’t just summarize evidence — it allegedly reshaped it.Defense attorney Bob Motta walks through claims that witness descriptions were altered, contradictions were omitted, and statements were presented to the judge in ways that made Allen appear far more consistent with “Bridge Guy” than the actual record supports.

The Alex Murdaugh case is entering one of its most explosive phases yet. South Carolina prosecutors have filed a massive 182-page brief urging the state supreme court to deny Murdaugh’s push for a new trial — even as jury-tampering allegations against former court clerk Becky Hill continue to shake public confidence.

Two cases. Two different outcomes. One shared question the system still can’t answer.In California, police say they moved quickly after Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found stabbed to death — confident they had enough evidence to arrest their son, Nick Reiner, within hours. The legal fight now centers on schizophrenia, medication changes, and whether mental illness excuses violence. In Kentucky, the opposite happened.

Court filings in the Mickey Stines case reveal a chilling reality: everyone saw the breakdown coming — and no one had the power to stop it. An elected Kentucky sheriff spiraled publicly. He called dead relatives on his phone. Lost weight rapidly. Stopped sleeping. Displayed paranoia. His own staff pushed him to see a doctor. The diagnosis? Acute stress reaction. The response? Send him home — with his badge, his gun, and his authority untouched. Twenty-four hours later, Judge Kevin Mullins was shot

Nick Reiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago. He was in treatment. Expensive treatment. According to multiple reports, his medication was changed just weeks before his parents were stabbed to death. His defense attorney, Alan Jackson — fresh off a major acquittal in another high-profile case — is already calling this case “very complex.” Translation: the insanity defense is coming. But insanity is not a diagnosis — it’s a legal standard. In California, the question is narrow and brutal:
