Defense Attorneys for Indiana Man Charged in Teen Murders Withdraw, Delaying Trial Amid Evidence Security Concerns

Attorneys Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi withdraw amid allegations of leaked crime scene photos, postponing trial originally scheduled for January 2024.

Richard Allen, an Indiana man charged with homicide for the 2017 murders of two teens, is having his trial postponed due to his attorneys withdrawing from the case.
Judge Fran Gull noted Andrew Baldwin's withdrawal from Allen's representation and expects Bradley Rozzi to follow suit shortly, adding to the delays for a trial originally set for January 2024.
The attorneys' withdrawal stemmed from concerns over evidence security and allegations of leaked crime scene photos that were shared on social media.
Baldwin and Rozzi's exit from the case follows allegations that the leaked photos originated from an associate of one of the attorneys.
Allen, who pleaded not guilty to charges, is now expected to secure new legal representation, causing further potential delays to the proceedings.
