CARROLL COUNTY, Ind. — The defense team for Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen are taking another shot at removing the judge from the case.
In a motion filed Sunday , attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Brad Rozzi claim Special Judge Fran Gull already tainted the court process and displayed her bias and prejudice by removing Allen’s legal counsel back on October 19th of last year.
From Baldwin and Rozzi’s court motion: “The court must grant the request if the facts recited in the affidavit support a rational inference of bias or prejudice [emphasis added]. Put another way, the facts Filed: 1/28/2024 10:00 PM Carroll Circuit Court Carroll County, Indiana contained in the affidavit must show there is a reasonable basis to question the judge’s impartiality toward Richard Allen and his defense team.”
The Indiana Supreme Court ruled January 18th to reinstate attorneys Baldwin and Rozzi, citing issues with the actions of Judge Gull leading up to their original disqualification.
