"Testimony Concludes in Adam Montgomery Murder Trial"

The state has rested its case in the Adam Montgomery murder trial after calling dozens of witnesses over several days. Adam Montgomery, 34, faces charges in connection with the death of his 5-year-old daughter Harmony in 2019. The defense is expected to begin its case, and the judge noted that if Montgomery waives his right to appear in court, he is also waiving his right to testify. The defense has filed a motion to exclude Kayla Montgomery's testimony from jury deliberations, and tensions seem to be increasing between the state and the defense. Additionally, it was revealed that Montgomery's father died over the weekend.

"Delphi Murders Judge Denies Defense Motion to Disqualify Over Destroyed Evidence"

The judge in the Delphi murders case has denied a motion to disqualify without a hearing, citing a prior ruling from the Indiana Supreme Court, after the defense team sought to remove Special Judge Fran Gull from the case. The attorneys for Richard Allen, the defendant in the case, had pushed for Gull to be replaced or recused from the proceedings, but the Indiana Supreme Court denied their request. The prosecutor is seeking to level two additional counts of murder against Allen, and a hearing is scheduled to weigh the additional charges and a bid to hold Allen's attorneys in contempt over an evidence leak and gag order violations.

The search yielded weapons, including a gun and several knives, as well as clothing, electronics, and shoes. Over 75 items were taken during two separate searches. Allen's defense has filed a motion to suppress the evidence, arguing that the search warrant lacked probable cause and that nothing relevant to the case was found.
