As the Delphi murder case continues to grip the nation, an intriguing question arises: What must be done to commence the actual trial proceedings in the complex case against Richard Allen? The Hidden Killers podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, recently featured a compelling conversation with defense attorney Bob Motta, host of the Defense Diaries podcast, shedding light on the myriad of procedural hurdles overshadowing the trial's commencement.
 
 The conversation, centered around the dismissal of Allen's attorneys by Judge Gull and the subsequent responses and appeals, highlighted the convoluted path the case has taken. Motta, drawing from his extensive legal experience, analyzed the situation, stating, "What did we quit talking about as soon as the leak in this attack on his attorneys came to be? We quit talking about the Frank's hearing. We quit talking about Odinism. We quit talking about the memo."
 
 This shift in focus, Motta argues, conveniently diverted attention from critical aspects of the case that were previously under scrutiny. The timing of these developments, particularly the sudden dismissal of Allen’s defense attorneys, raises questions about the motivations behind these legal maneuvers.
 
 Motta also pointed out the remarkable readiness of Allen's former attorneys, Rozzi and Baldwin, to proceed with the trial as early as January 8th. This readiness, he believes, may have caught Judge Gull unprepared, contributing to her decision to remove them. "It's awfully convenient," Motta noted, hinting at the possibility that this move was more about stalling for time than addressing any legitimate legal concerns.
 
 The podcast delved into the financial and ethical implications of such legal strategies. Motta discussed the potential conflict of interest and the unusual circumstances surrounding the case, particularly focusing on Judge Gull's actions and statements. "It gives you a glimpse into her psyche about what she thinks about Richard Allen," Motta said, questioning the impartiality of the judge.
 
 A critical aspect discussed was the impact of these legal proceedings on the families of the victims, Abby Williams and Libby German. The prolonged legal battles and shifting focus away from the central issues of the case add to their anguish. Motta empathized, "I would imagine if I was in that same position, I would be mortified right now."
 
 The discussion also covered the procedural peculiarities of the case, with Motta underscoring the importance of the appellate process. He highlighted the need for the trial to proceed so that the evidence and theories presented by both the defense and prosecution can be thoroughly examined and validated. "Until that time, we're all just screaming into the void," Motta remarked, emphasizing the futility of speculating about the case's outcome before it is properly tried.
 
 As Brueski and Motta concluded their discussion, the question of what lies ahead for Richard Allen and the integrity of the judicial process in this high-profile case remained unanswered. With the Indiana Supreme Court's decision pending, the legal landscape of the Delphi murder case remains shrouded in uncertainty.
 
 In closing, the Hidden Killers podcast episode with Bob Motta presents a stark reminder of the complexities and intricacies of the legal system, especially in cases as sensitive and high-profile as the Delphi murders. As the legal community and the public await further developments, one wonders: Will the pursuit of justice in the Delphi case eventually clear the smoke and mirrors that currently cloud its path?
