Delphi murders: Prosecutors file motion to ban certain words during Richard Allen's trial
http://abc7ne.ws/3JHwnzK

Prosecutors are asking the judge to ban words like "Odinism," "cult" and "ritual killing."

They say if the defense uses those terms, it could confuse the jury.

Judge says Richard Allen’s public defenders were “sloppy, negligent and incompetent” in handling evidence, but she will not impose sanctions because the state failed to prove the conduct was willful & intentional. She set a new hearing next Tue in the #Delphi murders case.

On Wednesday, Gull set a pre-trial hearing for May 7 where the defense and the prosecutor can discuss some of their concerns about the upcoming trial scheduled to begin May 13.

"Judge Fran Gull has found the Delphi murders defense team “sloppy, negligent, and incompetent” but declined to hold the pair in contempt."

Initially, I thought she was speaking of the investigation...

In any event, she has just paved the way for an appeal, along with the decision to hold him in a Maximum Security Prison, pre-conviction.

I am concerned that #RichardAllen's daughter may be on the witness list. I am concerned RA told someone he killed #Abby and #Libby and that is what led to his arrest.
I am concerned about his confessions.

I am wondering if the attack was random or if the killer knew Abby and Libby were going to be there, took his gun, and plotted accordingly.

There is more to this case than meets the eye, but no matter what happens, this case has multiple black eyes.

@SamJohnsonNews

NEW DETAILS The #Delphi murders trial has been pushed back to October 14, 2024. The defense waived its request for a speedy trial when the judge said she couldn’t extend the May trial. That means #RichardAllen could be in prison for two years before he heads to trial.

12:20 PM · May 7, 2024 from Fort Wayne, IN


One exchange between Defense Attorney Brad Rozzi & Judge Frances Gull after a new trial date was set:
Gull: “If you can’t try this case in a month, there’s something wrong.”
Rozzi: “You don’t know anything about this case.”

The defense wanted 15 days to present its case with no hard end on the May trial date. If Judge Frances Gull would not grant that, defense waived Richard Allen’s right to a speedy trial and asked for a new court date ASAP. Judge set new trial date for October 14.

During the hearing, defense attorney Andrew Baldwin filed a second request with the court for Judge Gull to be disqualified from the case.


Hearings will be held in Carroll County May 21-23 on several outstanding motions from the defense & state on evidence that will or will not be allowed at trial.


Judge Gull said she would no longer be communicating with the defense by emails because her emails wind up in defense motions, which she considered inappropriate.
