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.

Where you got that? Your are confusing things. Weber could have lied about everything —even all the way back to childhood about stealing a chocolate bar—and it still would not change that fact: he is on video arriving while the crime was occurring. But he did not lie. The defense during the trial attempted to suggest that he was nowhere near the crime scene during the crime. He was. Now appeal offers more evidence. His phone connected to the Wi-Fi at 2:50(which could be manual connection).
The defense tried to use the FBI agent to cast doubt on his testimony based on the agent’s belief that Weber arrived much later than he claimed. That's it. Much later than the crime, but they cannot escape the fact that he was there now, because he is on video. It was during the timeframe of the crime. The murderer was still on site during that period. Thus, he would have seen the van—whether at 2:25, 2:35, or 2:45 it's irrelevant.
The smoking gun is not the exact minute the van passed by, which is based solely on Allen’s statements. Weber didnt specified a minute. The smoking gun is that Allen knew a van passed by while the murderer was still at the crime scene. We already know he lied repeatedly. We even have his wife on tape stating that he lied to her for 5 years, among other things.
At best, Allen lied about the exact moment he saw the van—assuming the camera clock wasnt merely drifting—because he did not want Wala to view him as a cold-blooded murderer. Instead, he blamed it on “panic” rather than admitting what he had done.
