Help me understand!

New to this case and feel like I must be missing a lot of info. How is it possible this Allen guy never committed any other crimes? No history of anything? Nothing violent, not even a bar fight or something? And just escalated to double murder? And then never did it again? This is truly mind blowing to me. I’m sure this guy did it but it’s just so shocking this guy went from zero to double homicide.

And what is the suspected motive? He just always wanted to do it and finally had the opportunity? He snapped?

I’m so very confused.

I don't think he got a fair trial. I'm not convinced he did it

The jury was convinced and that was sufficient to put him behind bars.

Convinced by an unfair trial where evidence of multiple third party culprits who confessed to the crime and were actually connected to the victims was left out.

Who are you talking about? Please for the love of god don't bring up the 3rd party confessions... Furthermore deep down you have to admit you are being incredibly bias if you are believing 3rd party confessions but not confessions that came directly from the mouth of Richard Allen
