Delphi Verdict, Jury's Make Bad Choices When Given Half The Facts

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

Did the jury in Richard Allen's trial really get the whole story, or were they only shown the scenes the prosecution wanted them to see? It’s like walking into a movie halfway through, trying to piece together a plot where the villain might just win, but you’re never quite sure how. That’s the enigma we’re grappling with here, especially when a psychotic break, Bible-eating, and other jaw-dropping behavior from Allen didn’t seem to raise enough reasonable doubt. Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist, dives deep into the complexities of psychosis and how our misunderstandings of mental health may have influenced the verdict. With mental health professionals disagreeing—some for all the wrong reasons, including self-promotion—how do we decide whose testimony we can trust? And what does it say about us, the general public, when we dismiss mental health conditions so easily? If a man who thought he was Godzilla can't be taken at face value, how was this evidence?
What does this case reveal about our collective understanding—or misunderstanding—of psychotic behavior and justice?
