Legal Battle Over Confessions, Key Issue in Delphi Murder Case Against Richard Allen

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In the recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta, host of "Defense Diaries," discussed the latest developments in the case against Richard Allen, the alleged Delphi murderer. Motta, who has been closely following the trial, provided an update on the motion hearings taking place. A key issue is the motion to vacate the safekeeping order, which currently keeps Allen in maximum security due to concerns for his safety. The defense argues that the small Carroll County jail cannot protect Allen, necessitating his transfer to a more secure facility. This has led to complications in Allen's legal representation, as his attorneys face long travel distances to meet with him. The prosecution contends that the defense is overstating these issues, but Motta argues that the inability to access their client easily hampers trial preparation. Other motions discussed include the location of Allen’s detention closer to the trial venue and delays in discovery from the prosecution. The trial is set for October, and the judge's decisions on these motions will significantly impact the case.
