TL;DR Summary

The defense team for Delphi defendant Richard Allen has stepped down after it was revealed that sensitive crime scene evidence was leaked by one of Allen's attorneys to Delphi social media posters. The defense attorney engaged his own legal counsel, who filed a motion stating that the leak was the result of a former employee with unauthorized access to the evidence. The motion also confirmed that one of the participants in the leak took his own life after being questioned by investigators. The judge announced that the defense team would be replaced, and a new trial date would be set. This is the third time the judge has addressed defense leaks in the case. The validity of the search warrant used to discover a gun linked to the crime scene remains unresolved.
