The murders of Abigail Williams, 13, and Liberty German, 14, went without an arrest for more than five years -- until Richard Allen was charged with the crime that shocked the small community of around 3,000 residents, who were killed while taking pictures along a hiking trail, have been transported from more than 100 miles away to hear a case that has long remained a mystery to many.
The 12 jurors and four alternates have been brought in from Allen County, more than 100 miles away from Delphi.The court confiscates their electronics, but they can talk to their families on the phone each night while being watched by a bailiff. Sundays are “family time” when they can see their family, under the supervision of a bailiff, and families have been instructed not to talk about the case with them.
The court is providing lunch each day and transportation for the jurors to and from the hotel. The door that they will be entering the courthouse through is covered with a black tent, and the driveway area they will drive into has a black fence up, to prevent people from filming them.
