Delphi murder trial delayed by ten months as defense team withdraws due to 'gross' reasons

The Delphi murder trial, involving accused murderer Richard Allen, has been delayed by ten months after his defense team withdrew from the case due to the leak of gruesome crime scene pictures. Former attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Brad Rozzi were ordered to cease work on the case, prompting the appointment of new defense attorneys. The trial, originally scheduled for January 2024, has been rescheduled for October 2024. Allen is accused of killing Abby Williams and Libby German, two teenage girls who went missing while hiking in Indiana in 2017. The defense team has requested the reinstatement of important documents removed from the record.

Delphi murders suspect's defense team withdraws over leaked photos

The defense team representing Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders case, has withdrawn from the trial after allegations that leaked photos of the crime scene came from one of the attorney's associates. The photos, which were shared via text and on social media, were taken at the location where two teenage girls were murdered in 2017. The defense attorneys argue that they withdrew under coercive circumstances and have filed a memo to argue against their disqualification. Allen is accused of murdering 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams, and evidence from the crime scene reportedly matches evidence found at his home.
