Can memories from 2017 still be trusted in 2024? That's the big question as the Richard Allen trial finally unfolds in Delphi. As eyewitnesses, now in their 20s, take the stand, their recollections of "Bridge Guy" are being weighed against a backdrop of evolving memories and unreliable testimony. One middle-aged woman's timeline disrupts the state's theory, suggesting Allen’s car had already left the scene before the crime allegedly occurred. But is her memory accurate? And what about the alleged coerced confessions from a man held in solitary confinement for years, suffering from severe mental illness and eating his own feces? Can we trust his words?

In a world where every fantasy leaves a digital footprint, the lack of incriminating evidence on Allen’s devices raises questions. Is Allen a criminal mastermind who deleted all traces, or is there simply no evidence because he's innocent? And, as mental health plays a significant role in this case, we must ask: are we seeing justice, or are we witnessing another tragedy of the system breaking down under the weight of unreliable memories and fragile minds? Could we be on the verge of a colossal miscarriage of justice?
