Morning testimony lasted well into the afternoon today. The defense called three more witnesses, keeping one of them on the stand for about two hours.
A woman named Betsey Blair was back on the stand today. She talked more about going to the Monon High Bridge twice the day the girls went missing and talking to police about a car she noticed in a lot nearby.
Blair says it caught her attention because it was in what seemed like an abandoned lot, and it was parked a weird angle.
Blair described it as a four-door sedan, not a bright color, but not black.
Next up, the defense called a long-time psychiatrist, with degrees from Harvard Medical. He told the jury he specializes in solitary confinement, memory and false confessions.
This doctor listened to phone calls and reviewed transcripts of Richard Allen's time in solitary confinement and concluded he was "absolutely" showing signs of delirium.
The doctor talked about how it's "easier than expected" to create false memories, and Allen's symptoms inside prison were "perfectly consistent" with how false memories can be formed.
All of this ties into the defense's argument that Allen's mental health was deteriorating quickly during his time in prison, which led to his confessions of killing Abby Williams and Libby German.
The largest part of the testimony today came from a man named Dr. Eric Warren, who works in firearm and crime scene reconstruction.
Warren spent hours talking about how the tools within a gun leave marks on cartridges that pass through.
