In an unexpected twist in the Delphi murder case, Allen Superior Court Board of Judges has elected Francis C. Gull, the judge presiding over the high-profile case, as the new chief judge. This development, effective January 1st, 2024, raises critical questions about the future handling of the controversial case involving Richard Allen. Renowned defense attorney and podcast host Bob Motta joined Tony Brueski on "Hidden Killers" to analyze the implications of this move.
 
 The appointment of Judge Gull to a higher judicial role amid the ongoing scrutiny and criticisms she has faced in the Delphi case is a matter of considerable debate. Bob Motta, a seasoned legal expert, expressed his initial surprise at the news. "The timing is very interesting to me," Motta said, suggesting that the promotion might be a strategy to allow Judge Gull a graceful exit from the case.
 
 The Delphi murder case has been mired in controversy, with questions raised about Judge Gull's impartiality and decision-making. Her new role as chief judge, which encompasses additional duties and responsibilities, could potentially limit her involvement in the Richard Allen case. Motta questioned whether this could be a calculated move to address the issues plaguing the case without directly confronting them.
 
 The conversation on "Hidden Killers" delved into the broader context of such promotions within the judicial system. Motta pointed out that while the position of chief judge is a ministerial promotion, it still includes more responsibilities. This could indicate a possible behind-the-scenes effort to subtly shift Judge Gull away from the Delphi case.
 
 Motta and Brueski discussed the parallels between Judge Gull's promotion and other instances where individuals facing negative attention are moved to different roles. They compared it to practices in organizations like the Catholic Church, where problematic figures are often reassigned rather than directly addressed. This analogy underscores the complex dynamics at play in the judicial system, where the resolution of controversial matters often involves nuanced strategies.
 
 The discussion also touched upon the potential impact of Judge Gull's health issues and her handling of the case from the outset. "It just makes it seem like people are trying to hide something," Motta observed, referring to the initial decision to try the case under sealed records.
 
 As the conversation concluded, Motta emphasized the need to refocus attention on the merits of the Richard Allen case and the pursuit of justice for the two young victims. The upcoming hearing on January 18th is seen as a critical juncture that could bring clarity and direction to a case that has become a referendum on the legal and judicial systems in Delphi, Indiana.
 
 In light of these developments, the question remains: Will Judge Gull's promotion bring about a positive shift in the case's trajectory, or will it further complicate an already intricate legal saga? As the case progresses, the public and legal community alike await answers, hoping for a resolution that prioritizes justice above all.
