In a dramatic turn of events surrounding the Delphi murder case, the waters of justice appear murkier than ever. The leaking of crime scene photos has culminated in a shocking twist: the resignation of Richard Allen's defense attorneys. Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI special agent, expressed her concern on the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski, saying, "This is perilous for justice being served."
 
 For context, Richard Allen is the primary suspect in the Delphi murder case, involving two children found dead in the woods. While the case itself is heart-wrenching, the recent leaks, and subsequent departure of his defense team, have added another layer of complexity. "These guys are good," Jennifer noted, emphasizing the significance of their resignation, "They were considered really some of the best in the state."
 
 So why did they resign? Speculation suggests the leak, which unintentionally came from the offices of Richard Allen's defense, is to blame. The leak was labeled as an accidental release by a 'friend' and drew significant backlash. Brueski commented, "It surely showed a lack of security at their office that these things could get out."
 
 However, Coffindaffer offers a different perspective, highlighting the importance of in camera hearings. These private hearings involve attorneys, judges, and are designed to address highly sensitive issues out of the public's view. The retired FBI agent suggested that the defense team's resignation might have stemmed from pressure, not just from the photo leak but from a culmination of past actions that the judge deemed inappropriate. "I think they were forced out by the judge," she stated, hinting at a possible ultimatum that was handed to the defense team.
 
 The main concern, however, revolves around the previously outlined defense strategy for Allen. His former defense had put forth a compelling 160-page document detailing 'Odinist theories'. This strategy hinted at a larger conspiracy, attempting to exonerate Allen. Yet, with the departure of the defense team, there's a looming question: "Does this change the Odinist argument?" Brueski pondered.
 
 Coffindaffer reflected that the Odinist argument could potentially harm Allen's case because of its fantastical nature. "When you put the Odinism in it, it actually...looks like there's more guilt there," she added. With a new attorney, there's uncertainty on whether this 'Odinist theory' will continue to be the focus of the defense, or if it will be abandoned altogether. "I just can't imagine how that's really going to affect his defense down the road," Jennifer remarked, indicating the deep entrenchment of this theory in Allen's defense.
 
 Furthermore, Coffindaffer touched upon the crucial point of Allen's coerced confession, which had ties to the Odinist narrative. This theory played a significant role in explaining Allen's understanding and subsequent confession. Abandoning it might make the situation even more precarious for Allen unless he publicly denounces it.
 
 Brueski and Coffindaffer concluded their discussion with concerns about Allen's mental state. Both seemed to concur that he appears to be a broken individual, which leads one to wonder about his competency to stand trial.
 
 This case's future remains uncertain. With a new defense team to be assigned and a myriad of questions surrounding the validity of the previously presented theories, one can't help but ask: Will Richard Allen get the justice he deserves, or will the shadows of the past continue to cloud the truth?
