The Delphi Murders: Crowdfunding

MURDERSHEET
About this episode

Recently, attorney David Hennessy — apparently at the behest of attorneys Brad Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin — launched a crowdfunding effort to raise funds to assist in the defense of Richard Allen, the man charged with the killing of Abigail Williams and Liberty German.

In this episode, we take a look at the issue of crowdfunding legal defense in general by speaking with Julienne Pasichow and Hilary Gerzhoy, two attorneys who covered this topic in an informative article for Law 360

In response to The Murder Sheet's request for comment, Defense Diaries creator Bob Motta threatened to "respond in kind' to any criticism and invited himself on the program. As noted in the episode, Mr. Motta has a history of spreading falsehoods about the Delphi case and the creators of The Murder Sheet.

We also discuss some of the details of the Allen fundraiser in particular, including the role of a prominent defense YouTuber.

Finally we will cover the recent incident where graphic crime scene photos were shown on a YouTube channel.
