DELPHI, Ind. (AP) — A judge says jury members for the trial of an Indiana man accused of killing two teenage girls in 2017 will be selected from outside the county where the crime took place. Attorneys for 50-year-old Richard Matthew Allen of Delphi and the county prosecutor must decide within a week from which county they would pick that jury. Allen, who was present at Friday’s hearing, was charged in October with two counts of murder in the slayings of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams. The judge says the trial will remain in Carroll County, where Delphi is located.
