Mind Behind The Crime | The Psychology Of Killers

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the complex and bizarre case of Richard Allen, the accused Delphi murderer. The conversation explores the defense's efforts to exclude 60 confessions made by Allen while he was in solitary confinement, where his mental state significantly deteriorated, raising questions about the legitimacy of these confessions. Scott points out the unusual elements of the case, including alleged Odinist rituals linked to the crime scene and the unsettling behavior of prison guards who may have contributed to Allen’s mental breakdown. The discussion also touches on the psychological impact of solitary confinement, the potential for false confessions under duress, and the ethical concerns surrounding the treatment of Allen in prison. Scott emphasizes the need to carefully examine the context in which these confessions were made and questions whether the harsh treatment Allen received may lead to a perception of his innocence, even if he is guilty.
