DELPHI, Ind. — The attorneys for Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen have launched a new push to have him moved from a state prison to a county jail.
In new filings, Allen's attorneys are asking special judge Frances Gull to move Allen to either a Cass County or Tippecanoe County jail while he waits for his trial, which was recently moved from May to October.
Allen was moved to the prison for safety reasons. Now, the sheriff has apparently made plans for Allen to stay in the Tippecanoe County facility during the October trial.
Also in new filings, the defense team asked for money to keep a third attorney on the case full-time.
There's no indications on when the judge will decide on either issue.
The case is scheduled for a three-day hearing Tuesday, May 21 through Thursday, May 23. 13News will be there and provide complete coverage.
