CARROLL COUNTY, Ind. (NETWORK INDIANA) — Special Judge Fran Gull has denied two motions from the defense team representing suspect Richard Allen.
The defense team in the Delphi murders case wanted charges dismissed based on what they called exculpatory evidence that would prove Allen’s innocence, but Judge Gull ruled Friday they could not prove that evidence was exculpatory.
The judge says Allen’s legal team also couldn’t establish a solid line of evidence against an alternative suspect.
Judge Gull also denied the motion to punish the prosecution for what the defense called abuse of evidence rules.
Trial begins on Oct. 14.

The drama is stupid and foolish. The trial can’t begin soon enough. Try the case in front of an official jury rather than throwing stuff against the wall to see if any of it sticks. Allan is being poorly served by his defense team. The judge knows this and tried to get them removed and replaced by better lawyers.
She’s doing a great job, considering it all. I hope justice is served, whether RA is guilty or innocent of the charges. The girls deserve ANY and ALL of those responsible for their deaths to answer for their crimes. I say that with a heavy heart because it says “judge not unless ye be judged’. I’m trying to work it out so that I’m not judged when it comes to answering G*d’s judgement.
