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The defense team representing Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders case, has withdrawn from the trial after allegations that leaked photos of the crime scene came from one of the attorney's associates.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.
