Indiana Supreme Court allows Delphi murder suspect to retain original attorneys

DELPHI, Ind. (WLS) -- The Indiana Supreme Court allowed Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen to reinstate his original attorneys.

Allen is charged with killing teenagers Libby German and Abby Williams in 2017.

He asked for the previous public defenders assigned to him to be reinstated. A judge removed them from the case, accusing them of leaking evidence and negligence.

Those attorneys in November said they wanted the judge kicked off the case.

They say Judge Fran Gull was wrong when she accused them of gross negligence.

The court ruled to allow those attorneys to be retained by Allen once more.
