In a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding the Delphi murders case, defense attorneys representing Richard Allen have filed a motion for his transfer from the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility. This request, articulated in a six-page document by attorneys Robert Scremin and William Lebrato, underscores the logistical challenges and potential impact on their ability to effectively represent Allen.
 
 Richard Allen, accused of the 2017 murders of Abby Williams and Libby German in Delphi, Indiana, has been in custody for over two years, during which his safekeeping has been a recurring concern. Initially held at the Westville Correctional Facility, Allen was transferred to Wabash Valley Correctional Facility on December 6, 2023. This move, however, has not alleviated the difficulties faced by his legal team.
 
 Scremin and Lebrato, who took over Allen's representation following the dismissal of attorneys Brad Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin, have expressed that the distance between their base in Fort Wayne and the Wabash Valley facility, located 233 miles away in Sullivan County, is excessively burdensome. They describe a visit to Allen on December 22, 2023, as a grueling 10-hour endeavor, involving a meeting in a makeshift visitation room that they likened to a prep-kitchen, with Allen confined to a cell within this space.
 
 The motion also revisits concerns previously raised about the conditions at Westville Correctional Facility, including the treatment of Allen, who was reportedly shackled and chained in a manner reminiscent of the fictional character Hannibal Lecter. Additionally, the attorneys highlighted the presence of Odinism within the facility, noting a guard with face tattoos symbolizing Odin's spear, among other related tattoos.
 
 Scremin, with 25 years of legal practice, emphasized the unprecedented nature of these visitation conditions, advocating for Allen's transfer to either the Allen County Jail or the Adams County Jail to facilitate more effective legal counsel.
 
 The decision on this motion rests with special judge Fran Gull, whose role in the case is itself a subject of deliberation. A hearing scheduled for January 18 by the Supreme Court will address not only Judge Gull's involvement but also the potential reinstatement of Allen's previous attorneys, Rozzi and Baldwin. The outcome of this hearing, set for 11 a.m., could significantly influence the course of this high-profile case
