Delphi murder suspect's attorneys withdraw, causing unexpected twist
Attorneys representing Delphi murder suspect Richard Allen have withdrawn from the case, causing a delay in court proceedings. Allen, charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Abby Williams and Libby German, was not present during the hearing as he was being transported back to prison. The judge has ordered the attorneys to turn over all discovery evidence to the state and requested their assistance in finding new representation for Allen. The next court date is scheduled for October 31, but it is likely that a new defense team will not have enough time to prepare for the case by the original trial date in 2024.
