Delphi Murder Suspect's Attorneys Seek Removal of Special Judge Fran Gull

Delphi Murder Suspect's Attorneys Seek Removal of Special Judge Fran Gull

Attorneys representing Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders case, have filed a motion seeking the removal of Special Judge Fran Gull from the proceedings. In a recent legal maneuver, attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi argued that Judge Gull should be replaced or should recuse herself from the case.

The motion is the latest development in a series of legal maneuvers surrounding the Delphi murders case. Richard Allen faces charges related to the deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German in February 2017 near the Monon High Bridge in Delphi, Indiana.

Baldwin and Rozzi, who were recently reinstated as Allen's defense team, are now seeking Judge Gull's removal from the case. This move follows Gull's earlier call for their removal, citing a social media leak of evidence as a factor. Although Baldwin and Rozzi initially resigned, they later contended that they did so under pressure. Subsequently, two new attorneys were appointed to represent Allen.

The reinstatement of Baldwin and Rozzi involved a legal battle that reached the Indiana Supreme Court. While the highest court in the state reinstated the defense attorneys, they also denied a motion to remove Judge Gull from the case.

In their latest motion seeking Judge Gull's removal, Baldwin and Rozzi, on behalf of their client Richard Allen, questioned Gull's impartiality and her ability to oversee the case without bias. They expressed concerns that Gull's previous actions had affected their attorney-client relationship.

The motion argued that Gull's recusal would help eliminate any perception of impropriety in the case. It questioned whether Gull, having previously removed the defense attorneys, could make rulings without raising doubts about her impartiality.

During the course of the proceedings, Gull had accused Rozzi and Baldwin of acting negligently and with incompetence in their defense of Allen, alleging violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct. She also expressed "grave concerns" about their ability to represent him. The defense attorneys contended that Gull's actions had violated Allen's constitutional right to due process.

In a 22-page affidavit accompanying the motion, Richard Allen accused Judge Gull of misleading the public during the October 19 proceedings when she announced the attorneys' withdrawal from the case. He also claimed that Gull had interfered with his right to a speedy trial.

The affidavit further alleged that Gull had treated the prosecution more favorably than the defense. Allen accused Gull of allowing the prosecution to withhold potentially exculpatory evidence for months, while she had criticized the defense attorneys for their actions.

The motion argued that Judge Gull had interfered with Allen's right to a speedy trial by preventing him from having counsel of his choosing, resulting in trial delays. Additionally, Allen claimed that his confinement at Westville Correctional Facility since his arrest in October 2022 had led to both mental and physical deterioration.

Furthermore, the affidavit asserted that Judge Gull had shielded certain defense documents and records from public view, violating administrative rules from the Indiana Supreme Court and compromising public access.

The motion ultimately called for Judge Gull's removal or recusal from the case, citing concerns about her impartiality and her impact on the attorney-client relationship. It remains to be seen how this latest development will affect the ongoing legal proceedings in the Delphi murders case.

The Delphi Case They Don’t Want You to See: Richard Allen’s Legal Battle

The Delphi Case They Don’t Want You to See: Richard Allen’s Legal Battle

The Delphi Case They Don’t Want You to See Richard Allen’s Legal Battle The Delphi murders remain one of the most haunting true crime cases in America — but the conviction of Richard Allen is not the end of the story. In this unflinching conversation with defense attorney and Defense Diaries host Bob Motta, we examine every layer of the case: the appeal process, the prison conditions that pushed Allen to the brink, the questionable evidence presented at trial, and the personal toll on his family. We explore why “bridge guy” may not be the killer, how witness descriptions don’t match the defendant, and why the “unspent round” ballistic evidence could be one of the weakest links in the state’s case. We dig into the role — and absence — of Kathy Allen at trial, the strategic decisions that shaped the defense, and the broader implications for justice when high-profile cases become political pressure cookers. This is the Delphi case without the sound bites — a deep dive into the facts, the legal strategy, and the human cost. Whether you believe Allen is guilty or innocent, the details here will challenge what you think you know. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #BridgeGuy #TrueCrime #JusticeSystem #AppealProcess #BobMotta #KathyAllen #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Human Cost of the Delphi Case: Kathy Allen Speaks Out

The Human Cost of the Delphi Case: Kathy Allen Speaks Out

The Human Cost of the Delphi Case: Kathy Allen Speaks Out Richard Allen’s conviction in the Delphi murders didn’t just send him to prison — it sent him hundreds of miles away, to Oklahoma, far from his wife and legal team. Officially, prison transfers happen for many reasons. Unofficially, they can make mounting an appeal much harder. In this conversation, we focus on Kathy Allen — the woman who’s been cut off from her husband for years, who appeared in the recent documentary to humanize a man many have already condemned. Defense attorney Bob Motta explains why she was never called to testify, and why he believes her presence could have made a difference in the jury’s perception. This is the human side of the Delphi case — the part where the legal fight intersects with personal loss, where strategy meets heartbreak, and where the ripple effects of a conviction extend far beyond the defendant. #DelphiMurders #KathyAllen #RichardAllen #PrisonTransfer #TrueCrime #JusticeSystem #HiddenKillers #AppealProcess #BobMotta #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

DELPHI MURDERS: The Full Story They Didn’t Want You to Hear

DELPHI MURDERS: The Full Story They Didn’t Want You to Hear

DELPHI MURDERS: The Full Story They Didn’t Want You to Hear The Delphi murders remain one of the most disturbing and controversial true crime cases in recent history. Two young girls, a grainy cell phone video, and a conviction that was supposed to bring justice. But once you peel back the layers, the case against Richard Allen begins to look less like a rock-solid prosecution and more like a carefully curated narrative — one that left out entire chapters the jury never got to read. In this complete deep dive, we examine all four major angles that cast doubt on Allen’s conviction: The Weak “Big Three” – a contested bullet match, a manipulated Bridge Guy video, and confessions obtained after more than a year in solitary confinement. Ron Logan – the property owner where the girls were found, with a fake alibi, FBI suspicion, and a history that should have made him a prime suspect. Kegan Kline – the online predator behind the “Anthony_Shots” account, in contact with one of the victims about meeting at the bridge the day of the murders. Brad Holder & the Odinism Theory – alleged ritualistic crime scene elements, social media posts eerily mirroring the scene, and a direct personal link to one of the victims. All four pieces form a picture of a case with serious investigative blind spots — and a trial that kept those blind spots out of the jury’s view entirely. We look at the evidence, the omissions, and the uncomfortable question: if these suspects and leads were too “speculative” to present in court, why did the state’s shaky case against Allen make the cut? If you care about truth over closure, about actual justice instead of just securing a conviction, this is the Delphi conversation you need to hear. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #RonLogan #KeganKline #BradHolder #Odinism #TrueCrime #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #WrongfulConviction #DelphiCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi’s Most Controversial Evidence — Unpacked by Bob Motta

Delphi’s Most Controversial Evidence — Unpacked by Bob Motta

Delphi’s Most Controversial Evidence — Unpacked by Bob Motta For years, the image of “bridge guy” has been the face of the Delphi murders — a grainy figure walking toward the victims, captured in the final moments of their lives. But how sure are we that bridge guy is the killer? And how certain is the state that he’s Richard Allen? In this discussion, Bob Motta and I break down the witness descriptions, none of which mention Allen’s most obvious physical trait — his short stature. We dig into the “unspent round” ballistic evidence, the missing chain of custody documentation, and the questionable science used to link it to Allen’s gun. From the audio claims (“gun racking” sounds) to the absence of physical proof tying bridge guy to the crime, this segment challenges the core evidence in the state’s case. If these points don’t hold up under appellate review, the implications for the Delphi conviction are huge. #DelphiMurders #BridgeGuy #RichardAllen #TrueCrime #Ballistics #UnspentRound #WitnessTestimony #JusticeSystem #AppealProcess #BobMotta Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi’s Ritual Theory – Why the Jury Never Heard About Brad Holder

Delphi’s Ritual Theory – Why the Jury Never Heard About Brad Holder

Delphi’s Ritual Theory – Why the Jury Never Heard About Brad Holder Among the most controversial elements of the Delphi case is the so-called “Odinism theory” — the claim that Abby and Libby’s murders had ritualistic elements tied to Norse pagan beliefs. The crime scene reportedly featured sticks arranged in rune-like patterns on the victims’ bodies. Brad Holder’s name surfaced in court filings from Richard Allen’s defense as one of several locals allegedly associated with Odinist imagery. His connection to the case is direct: his son dated one of the victims. Social media posts showed staged images eerily similar to the alleged crime scene arrangements, rune symbols on his hand, and a cryptic comment posted just days after the murders: “Your real ones don’t judge you… They help you move the body and never speak of it again.” Despite the disturbing parallels, the state dismissed the Odinism theory as speculative, and the judge barred any mention of it in front of the jury. Holder was never charged, and the jury deciding Allen’s fate never heard about the alleged ritual elements. In this episode, we examine the Odinism theory, Holder’s alleged connections, and why potentially exculpatory evidence was kept out of the courtroom — raising deeper questions about whether Allen’s trial was a fair search for truth or a curated story with key chapters missing. #DelphiMurders #BradHolder #Odinism #TrueCrime #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #DelphiCase #WrongfulConviction #ColdCase #TrueCrimeCommunity #IndianaCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Coerced Confessions in Delphi: Bob Motta Weighs In

Coerced Confessions in Delphi: Bob Motta Weighs In

Coerced Confessions in Delphi: Bob Motta Weighs In Richard Allen’s so-called “confessions” in the Delphi murders weren’t made in a police interrogation room. They were made after months of extreme isolation, cut off from his wife, under conditions that defense attorney Bob Motta describes as “passive coercion.” In this segment, we explore the reality of those prison conditions — 23 hours a day in a cell, relentless verbal harassment, and the kind of mental strain that can push anyone toward a breaking point. We discuss how Allen’s mental state deteriorated to the point where he made bizarre, contradictory statements — including admitting to crimes that never happened. Motta explains why these conditions matter in the appeal process, how courts evaluate whether a confession is voluntary, and why isolation tactics are so dangerous in pretrial detention. This is a sobering look at how “protective custody” can blur into psychological punishment, and what that means for justice in a high-profile case like Delphi. #DelphiMurders #RichardAllen #PrisonConditions #CoercedConfession #TrueCrime #MentalHealth #JusticeSystem #AppealProcess #HiddenKillers #BobMotta Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Delphi Murders: The Man Who Planned To Meet Abby & Libby On The Bridge

Delphi Murders: The Man Who Planned To Meet Abby & Libby On The Bridge

Delphi Murders: The Man Who Planned To Meet Abby & Libby On The Bridge Kegan Kline wasn’t a stranger to Liberty German. He was the man behind “Anthony_Shots,” a fake online persona crafted to lure underage girls. In the weeks before the murders, Kline used this persona to groom Libby — even arranging to meet her at the Monon High Bridge the day she was killed. Despite the disturbing overlap between his communications and the murders, police didn’t arrest Kline on child pornography charges until three years later. They insisted he wasn’t connected to the murders — but how does that square with the fact that he was in direct contact with one of the victims about being at the exact location of the crime? In this episode, we look at the Anthony_Shots account, the timeline of Kline’s interactions with Libby, and why this lead was seemingly sidelined once Richard Allen became the prime suspect. We explore whether Kline was the intended meeting, an accessory, or simply the bait — and why the jury never got to consider his potential role. #DelphiMurders #KeganKline #AnthonyShots #TrueCrime #JusticeForAbbyAndLibby #DelphiCase #WrongfulConviction #ColdCase #TrueCrimeCommunity #IndianaCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
