Indiana Supreme Court Hears Arguments on Reinstating Original Defense Team for Delphi Murder Suspect

Indiana Supreme Court Hears Arguments on Reinstating Original Defense Team for Delphi Murder Suspect

The Indiana Supreme Court was the stage for legal arguments on Thursday as Richard Allen, the individual charged with the 2017 double murders of teenagers Abby Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Indiana, seeks to reinstate his original defense team. Allen was notably absent from the court hearing, despite being the one who initiated the motion.

Originally scheduled to stand trial for the double murders this month, Allen's case took an unexpected turn last October. Special Judge Fran Gull dismissed Allen's public defenders, Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin, following a leak of crime scene evidence online. Judge Gull characterized the attorneys as "grossly negligent" as part of her rationale for their removal.

It later came to light that an employee of Baldwin and Rozzi's law office had taken the photos without permission, and they were not leaked by the lawyers themselves. Subsequently, new attorneys were assigned to Allen's case, with Judge Gull stating that his best interests required him to have access to a competent defense team.

During Thursday's proceedings, Mark Leeman, counsel for the relator, argued that Judge Gull had not conducted a formal hearing to voice her concerns about alleged negligence and incompetence; instead, she made the decision without a proper discussion. Chief Justice Loretta Rush acknowledged this oversight and wondered if Judge Gull had acted beyond her authority.

However, Matt Gutwein, counsel for the respondent, contended that the judge had indeed given Allen's former lawyers the option to continue with a trial, but they had voluntarily stepped down. Chief Justice Rush questioned the transcript from the conversation between Judge Gull and the attorneys, expressing doubts about whether the lawyers were genuinely given a choice regarding the trial.

In response to the situation, Richard Allen has made three requests to the Indiana Supreme Court: the reinstatement of Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin, the appointment of a new judge, and a trial to be held within 70 days.

Legal experts have offered differing perspectives on the potential outcome. Dr. Jody Madeira, a law professor at Indiana University, suggested that the judge would likely not be disqualified from the case, and Allen's original counsel might not be reinstated. She anticipated that the trial would move forward with a new defense team under Judge Gull's supervision.

However, criminal defense attorney Brian Clayton raised the possibility that the Indiana Supreme Court could allow Allen's original defense team to be reinstated. Clayton emphasized Allen's constitutional right to competent legal counsel and the familiarity of his original lawyers with the intricacies of the case. Allen has expressed his desire for Bradley Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin to represent him.

As a result of these legal proceedings, Richard Allen's trial, originally set for this month, has been postponed until October 2024. This delay is intended to provide Allen's new attorneys with sufficient time to review the case thoroughly.

The Prosecution's Delphi Murder Timeline Doesn't Add Up

The Prosecution's Delphi Murder Timeline Doesn't Add Up

What happens when a murder case shifts from seeking justice to simply saving face? That seems to be the troubling theme surrounding the Delphi murders of Abigail Williams and Liberty German in 2017. The accused, Richard Allen, might not even be the right man behind bars. With shaky evidence, a timeline full of holes, and a bullet that could’ve come from just about anyone, the case against Allen feels like it's being held together with duct tape and wishful thinking. How can the system keep pushing forward when the foundation seems to be crumbling beneath it? Is this about justice—or just maintaining appearances? And if Allen isn’t the guy, then who is? #DelphiMurders #TrueCrimeToday #JusticeSystemFail #RichardAllen #LibertyGerman #AbigailWilliams #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Unreliable Prosecution Witnesses and Junk Bullet Science, A Look At The Abysmal Case Against Delphi Accused Richard Allen

Unreliable Prosecution Witnesses and Junk Bullet Science, A Look At The Abysmal Case Against Delphi Accused Richard Allen

Unreliable Prosecution Witnesses and Junk Bullet Science, A Look At The Abysmal Case Against Delphi Accused Richard Allen Could one unspent bullet really be enough to solve a double homicide, or are prosecutors grasping at straws? In this gripping episode, Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer dissect the state's questionable reliance on "bullet science" in the case against Richard Allen. The prosecution’s case hinges on matching a bullet found at the crime scene to Allen’s gun, despite experts challenging the reliability of tool mark analysis. As if shaky ballistics weren’t enough, confessions alleged to be from Allen vary wildly—raising doubts about the state’s true intentions. Is this a quest for justice or a desperate push to close the case? And if the prosecution fails, will anyone in power take responsibility, or just quietly move on? #delphicase #truecrime #bulletevidence #richardallen #justiceontrial #hiddenkillers #toolmarkscience Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Delphi Eyewitness Testimony Is All Over The Place From Young Witnesses

Delphi Eyewitness Testimony Is All Over The Place From Young Witnesses

Delphi Eyewitness Testimony Is All Over The Place From Young Witnesses Is Richard Allen really the killer of Abby Williams and Libby German, or has the case against him started to unravel in court? Eyewitness testimony is the crux of the prosecution’s case, but as we all know, memory can be a tricky thing—especially when it’s influenced by time and suggestion. Some witnesses claim to have seen him at the scene with surprisingly accurate details, while others’ recollections are wildly inconsistent, making it hard to pin down who saw what. The real question, though: can any of these accounts hold up without concrete, physical evidence? The lack of DNA evidence linking Allen to the murders is disturbing, and his erratic courtroom behavior doesn't quite fit the profile of someone who could pull off a clean, calculated crime. But does his presence in the area—and a car seen near the scene—create enough smoke to draw the jury toward a guilty verdict? Or is it all just a mirage of faulty memories and suggestive questioning? Is this all leading to justice or just another case of misdirection? #DelphiMurders #RichardAllenTrial #TrueCrime #EyewitnessTestimony #LibbyGerman #AbbyWilliams #JusticeOrMistrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Bullet That The DA Claims Links Richard Allen To Delphi Murders Is Based On Junk Science

The Bullet That The DA Claims Links Richard Allen To Delphi Murders Is Based On Junk Science

The Bullet That The DA Claims Links Richard Allen To Delphi Murders Is Based On Junk Science What if the case against Richard Allen isn't as solid as it seems? In this episode, Tony Brueski dives deep with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer into the unsettling reality behind forensic bullet analysis. While TV shows make it look foolproof, real-life bullet markings are far from a perfect match and could even be misleading. They discuss how extractor and ejector marks—tiny, often invisible scratches—are being presented as definitive evidence in the trial. But is it enough to say, “this is the guy”? As Allen's fate hangs in the balance, the town is faced with bigger questions: what happens if he's innocent, and a killer still walks free? Or, is the case driven more by emotion and pressure than by actual proof? If the science doesn’t hold, where does justice go from here? #ForensicScience #BulletAnalysis #RichardAllenTrial #JusticeSystem #TrueCrimeMystery #LegalDrama #HiddenKillersPodcast** Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
