Delphi Murder Trial Postponed to October Amid Defense Concerns

The trial of Richard Allen, accused of the 2017 murders of two Indiana teens, faces delays due to defense's need for more time to prepare.

The trial was initially set to begin in May but has been pushed back to ensure adequate preparation for the defense.
Defense attorneys argue that the complexity of the case and the volume of evidence require more than the originally allotted three weeks.
Controversies have marred the pre-trial phase, including disputes over evidence and the involvement of Odinist rituals as a defense theory.
Recent legal rulings have focused on procedural fairness, including the reinstatement of Allen's original defense team by the Supreme Court.
The case has deeply affected the Delphi community, remaining in the public eye due to its prolonged and complex legal proceedings.
