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.

lol what? you was fooled. if you cant here his voice during that interrogation then im sorry. Op they are telling you to go to one of the sites that is pro richard allen, but I guess there is a conspiracy on just about everything. Some believe OJ didnt do it too.

No, I’m suggesting there are plenty of places to get actual facts, not the prosecution narrative. I would suggest reading the Franks memo and the appeal for starters.

The state doesn’t have a “narrative”, it has a timeline. It has matching extraction marks on a bullet. It has his car. It has his confessions. It has him lying to his wife on video. It has his description of witnesses on the trail.

Their timeline contradicts itself, the extraction marks matching is only Oberg subjective opinion which she reached by inventing her own non-scientific methodology. None of the witnesses saw him. Kathy and Rick were both confused trying to remember their conversation from nearly 6 years earlier after being interrogated for hours.

If Oberg invented her own methodology, then why did the markings match up perfectly?  How could she do that? Do you realize how impossible that is?  

Have you ever seen an ink stamp?  When the ink on the stamp starts running low, what do you do? You press it back onto the ink pad to continue stamping. The imprint of the stamp never changes, it just has a clearer image when you add more ink to it. This is essentially what Oberg did.  She didn’t change the markings from the extractor, she just added a little more “ink”
