Content warning, this episode contains discussion of murder, including the murder of two children.

In the trial of Richard Allen, Nicholas McLean led the prosecution. As Carroll County prosecutor,

his role was to speak for the murder victims, to secure justice for them and for their community,

and finally to convince the jury to convict based on the evidence.

After an impressive showing, he accomplished all of that, aided by his deputy prosecutor,

Stacey Deiner and James Luttrell. In this episode, we would discuss a variety of topics with

prosecutor McLean, including the wait for the verdict, the sentencing of

Richard Allen, and also Prosecutor McLean's approach to witnesses and how he put together his

heartbreaking closing argument.

Now that the gag order is lifted, Prosecutor McLean and others are free to speak about their

experiences with the Delphi case.

This will be the second of two episodes featuring our interview with the elected prosecutor of Carroll County.

They will be released on the same day, so check out the first part as well.

These episodes are part of our first-person interview series.

We will seek to interview as many of the individuals with first-hand experience

in the Delphi case as possible in the coming weeks and months. If you had a direct role in the case

and are open to talking with us, email us at Murder Sheet atchemail.com. This is part of our ongoing

efforts to report on the Delphi murders. For many years, we've not gotten the chance to hear

directly from some of the principal figures in the case. That all changes now. My name is Anya Kane. I'm a journalist.

And I'm Kevin Greenlee. I'm an attorney. And this is The Murder Sheet. We're a true crime

podcast focused on original reporting, interviews, and deep dives into murder cases.

We are the murder sheet.
