In the first 24 hours, the fundraising campaign raised more than $10,000 of the $25,000 goal.
The crowdfunding effort comes after Allen’s attorneys filed court documents claiming that special judge Frances Gull has been denying their funding requests.
“All the money will go to experts. It won’t go to the attorneys, and it won’t go to Rick [Allen],” attorney David Hennessy said.
Allen’s attorneys have indicated the judge wants them to pay for expert witness expenses up front and that she will then review their reimbursement requests to determine if they will be granted.
According to the defense team, Gull has approved much less than requested.
For example, the defense team claims the judge approved $6,262 for them to consult with a firearms expert and a digital forensic expert about Delphi crime scene evidence, but they say the judge denied additional consultations with those experts as “unsupported” expenses.
