Could the pursuit of justice for Abby and Libby in the Delphi murders be compromised by judicial bias and procedural missteps? This is the pressing question that hangs over the controversial case of Richard Allen, currently accused of the heinous crime. In a revealing discussion on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI special agent, delves into the complexities and irregularities that have plagued the case, particularly focusing on the actions of Judge Gull.
 
 The recent response from Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita regarding motions filed to remove Judge Gull and reinstate Allen’s attorneys, Rozzi and Baldwin, has sparked concern and debate. As Coffindaffer points out, "It’s become so derailed… and judge Gull has certainly seemingly shown bias in this case in terms of her decision making." The case has taken a turn from a straightforward criminal trial to a labyrinth of legal technicalities and ethical questions.
 
 Allen's right to a speedy trial, as mandated by the Sixth Amendment, has been a topic of heated discussion. The Attorney General’s response, which deemed Allen's request for a trial within 70 days as "improper," has been met with skepticism by legal experts. Coffindaffer challenges this assertion, questioning, "What’s improper about that? That’s his right to his speedy trial."
 
 The verbiage used by Judge Gull in describing the alleged conduct of Allen's attorneys as "gross negligence" is another focal point. Coffindaffer argues that while negligence might be a stretch, labeling it as gross negligence seems an overreach, particularly given the circumstances under which the alleged breach occurred. The potential consequences of such an accusation on the careers of these attorneys are substantial and troubling.
 
 The podcast also raises concerns about the potential for an appeal. While an appeal might offer a remedy, it also extends the timeline, prolonging the uncertainty and agony for all parties involved. "His time is ticking in terms of what's happening in that prison on a personal level to him," Coffindaffer notes, highlighting the human cost of legal delays.
 
 The conversation then shifts to the broader implications of this case. If the allegations against Allen are indeed true, it raises alarming questions about the integrity of the judicial process. On the other hand, if Allen is innocent, it demonstrates a frightening scenario where anyone could find themselves ensnared in a legal nightmare based on circumstantial evidence and questionable judicial conduct.
 
 The discussion on "Hidden Killers" concludes with a sobering reflection on the toll this case has taken on everyone involved – from the families of Abby and Libby, seeking justice for their loss, to Richard Allen, whose life and health have deteriorated significantly since his incarceration. The reputation and careers of attorneys Rozzi and Baldwin are also at stake, casting a shadow on the legal profession.
 
 As this complex case continues to unfold, it begs the question: Can justice truly be served amidst this maelstrom of legal and ethical quandaries? The resolution of Richard Allen's case in the Delphi murders remains to be seen, but the discussion on "Hidden Killers" with Jennifer Coffindaffer provides crucial insight into the challenges and dilemmas facing our legal system today.
