Does Delphi Accused Richard Allen's Fall Into Psychotic Behavior Reveal Guilt?

Mind Behind The Crime | The Psychology Of Killers

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the perplexing case of Richard Allen, the man accused of being the Delphi murderer. The conversation centers on the defense's attempt to have 60 confessions made by Allen during solitary confinement excluded from the trial. Scott examines the legitimacy of these confessions, considering Allen's potential mental deterioration under the extreme conditions of solitary confinement, where he displayed signs of psychosis, such as eating feces. She notes that while solitary confinement can severely impact mental health, the extent of Allen’s behavior suggests pre-existing psychotic tendencies. The discussion also highlights the lack of a clear character history indicating instability before his arrest, making the case more complex. Scott emphasizes that the full story is not yet known and points to the strange elements of the case, including possible connections to an Odinist cult, as factors that further complicate understanding Allen's mental state and guilt.
