DELPHI, Ind. — The judge in the Delphi murders case has set new court dates for Richard Allen's pre-trial hearing.
Following the cancellation of the originally scheduled three-day hearing back in May, Judge Frances Gull has now re-scheduled the pre-trial hearing to July 30, 31 and August 1.
The hearings will tackle nearly a dozen different motions from both the prosecutor and defense on various issues including motions to suppress evidence and other motions to admit evidence.
These hearings will not include the unusual motion the defense filed earlier this week, in which they once again asked Gull to step down because they intend to call her as a witness in the future.
The defense said testimony from Gull will be important to show that law enforcement has acted in bad faith, violating Allen's constitutional rights and they claim the judge has direct knowledge about that.
Judge Frances Gull has not yet responded to the defense's claims.
Richard Allen is charged with killing Libby German and Abby Williams in 2017. Back in May, Allen's trial was moved to Oct. 14 - Nov. 15, 2024.
