Description
The prosecutors in the Delphi murders case have responded to a filing by Richard Allen's legal team that could delay the trial scheduled to begin in October.
Attorneys for Allen said this week that they want the Indiana Court of Appeals to overturn two of Special Judge Frances Gull's rulings before the trial starts. The attorneys don't agree with some of the judge's recent rulings about what evidence can and can't be heard by a jury.
The defense team wants the Court of Appeals to review those rulings. They believe those rulings were wrong and violated Allen's constitutional rights and ultimately will lead to a second trial if Allen is found guilty.
The issues the defense is raising are critical to how the defense team plans to defend Allen and convince jurors he did not kill 13-year-old Abby Williams and 14-year-old Libby German.
