Is justice being served or hindered in Delphi, Indiana? The case against Richard Allen, the man accused in the Delphi Murders, raises this crucial question. With twists and turns akin to a legal thriller, the case's recent developments have thrown the actions of Judge Frances Gull into the spotlight, leading to an appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court.

Defense Attorney Bob Motta, host of the podcast "Defense Diaries," and Tony Brueski of "Hidden Killers," recently delved into the complexities of this case. Their discussion illuminated the intricacies and potential judicial missteps surrounding Allen’s legal battle.

Motta explained, "It's a very active case. It went from not much happening prior to September to full speed ahead." This acceleration followed the controversial removal of Allen's pro bono attorneys, Brad Rozzi and Baldwin, by Judge Gull. Motta described this decision as one based on perceived gross negligence, leaving Allen with a new legal team – Scremin and Lebrato.

However, the recent petitions to the Indiana Supreme Court aren't filed by Allen’s current or former counsel. Instead, they are the work of "three friends of the court," as Motta described, pointing to a tight-knit defense community rallying against perceived judicial missteps.

The first petition challenges Judge Gull's management of the docket, accusing her of trying the case "in the dark." It's argued that she seals and removes defense filings, obstructing public access to court documents. Maggie Smith, an expert in Public records for courts access rules, spearheaded this petition, outlining the judge's alleged violations.

Motta, reflecting on this unusual circumstance, expressed puzzlement: "I don't have an answer for it. I don't think [Judge Gull] is trying to railroad Richard Allen. It's puzzling."

This complexity is heightened by the Indiana Attorney General's refusal to represent Judge Gull in this matter, forcing her to seek private counsel. Motta anticipates that the Supreme Court will direct the judge to disclose all documents on the docket, a move that could illuminate the case's trajectory.

The Delphi Murders, involving the tragic deaths of two young girls, Abigail Williams and Liberty German, in February 2017, have long captivated public attention. Allen's arrest in 2022 brought renewed focus, but with this focus comes scrutiny over the judicial process.

Brueski, probing the issue, asked, "Is it just sloppy work?" Motta conceded that might be a part of the problem. The case's high profile, combined with the judge’s repeated attempts and failures to secure a bench appointment, only adds to the intrigue and confusion.

In a case where the public's trust in the legal system is at stake, the actions of those within the system are as crucial as the trial itself. This case not only represents a quest for justice for the victims but also a test of the judicial process's transparency and fairness.

As the Delphi case continues to unfold, many questions remain. Why has the case taken such a convoluted path? Is the issue with the judge's actions symptomatic of a larger problem within the judicial system? And most importantly, can justice truly be served in such a tumultuous environment?

With eyes of the nation on Delphi, these questions loom large, leaving observers inside and outside the courtroom eagerly awaiting answers.
