Defense withdraws motion for a speedy trialLive blog: Delphi murders suspect in court for special motions hearing
Why does this surprise me??????
Defense withdraws motion for a speedy trialLive blog: Delphi murders suspect in court for special motions hearing
I was surprised the request to postpone trial was granted. Perhaps that’s as it must be, legally.Exactly, none of us are surprised by this and many of us even expected it. We knew the D wasn't ready.. they were not ready last fall when they said they were. This trial was set for October and big surprise the D playing games requests the speedy trial... then withdrawals it and we are back to October like was already set before they changed it.
How much money and planning has went already into getting accommodations ready for the jurors for NEXT WEEK??!!??
I find it hard to understand how people can say these attorneys don't care about this client. They are going so hard for him and likely neglecting nearly everything else in their practice. Additionally, there are so many other respected attorneys also completely disagreeing with the way the judge is handling this case, even taking it to the SCOIN.
I know people don't like them simply because they are defense attorneys and they believe "guilty until proven innocent," but I just don't see it in this case.
JMO MOO
Selfish of me, but I was looking forward to seeing a speedy resolution. This movie has run long already.Defense withdraws motion for a speedy trialLive blog: Delphi murders suspect in court for special motions hearing
No offense intended.Somebody did come forward with that saying those very things.
Richard Allen did come forward to say it was him on the trails wearing the clothing, walking the trails, going on the bridge all while being the only one wearing and going those places as he pointed out himself.
How do you know what all the tips were? How do you know someone didn’t tip him in and it went nowhere?
Holding responsible the people of a sweet little community for not recognizing a killer at the store is victim blaming.
Imo, that’s part of his motivation was the freedom he has a nobody.
all imo

Just how were they supposed to be ready when the State sent mountains of discovery that was possibly disorganized (I don't know the normal structure for the distribution of discovery), that was LATE, that was missing and had to be followed up on or lost entirely?Exactly, none of us are surprised by this and many of us even expected it.

Oh I think she had to.. imagine how that would go down if she didn't. She's bias, out to get RA and the defense and so on.I was surprised the request to postpone trial was granted. Perhaps that’s as it must be, legally.
During the hearing, the defense expressed worry that the prosecution would take up too much time during the trial, and requested 15 working days to present.
Special Judge Gull responded to the request by saying she couldn’t ask the jury to extend past the dates already set for May, adding that two and a half weeks should be sufficient time for the case.
Prosecution replied saying that they tried to “cut the fat” as sufficiently as possible, and planned to call 45 witnesses with a projected end date of May 25, which would give the prosecution seven days to present outside of jury selection.

Judge postpones Delphi murders trial following defense's request for 'more time to present'
The trial for Delphi murders suspect Richard Allen has been pushed back until October 2024, special Judge Gull ordered Tuesday.www.wishtv.com
Considering the fact the judge isn't keen on holding actual hearings, there probably would have been so many sidebars and jury being sent out for long periods of time so that they could settle matters in the middle of the trial that really should be done before the trial. Maybe now she will at least hold some hearings, but if not, everyone has more time to do it the slow way....communicating just in writing back and forth.
I don't think there is any way this trial could have been held thoroughly and fairly for either side on its scheduled date or in its schedule timeframe.

I would understand if she did deny the request. They said they were ready last year and a trial was set for October 2024. Then it was the D who filed the speedy trial request causing a lot of chaos. Then knowing the judge had set 3 weeks for the trial oh gee 60 something days ago.. they said nothing all this time and then we have the letter from the judge noting that exact thing. Neither side objected to the time set way back when.. if you need more time than 3 weeks the time to speak up was when the judge was setting the dates for the trial...

"The new dates for the trial were slated for Oct. 14, 2024 – Nov. 15, 2024. Gull said after setting the new trial dates that “if you can’t try this case in a month, there is something wrong.”
Rozzi replied, “You don’t know anything about this case, so how do you know how long this will take.”
Gull responded by saying with all her experience, it was bold of the defense to assume she didn’t know how long it would take."
Oh wow! I cannot believe BR even said that to a judge in open court!! What the what!! Given their next move was to file again to remove JG from the case, I have to wonder, was he trying to provoke her into a misstep??
It was always a game, the D was never ready to go, and played the MST card for a reason...Why does this surprise me??????
Rozzi also requested that in the future, there would be no security in close proximity when conferring with Allen. He opposed the fact that security was nearby in the courtroom Tuesday, but when offered the chance to speak with Allen in the sheriff’s office, the defense declined.

judge Newman in the Murdaugh trial ruled on very few motions before the trial. Instead he told the attorneys that he would rule on certain evidence was admissible if and when it came up in trial. And that’s what they did, and it worked just fine.
So it can work.
JG’s mistake was not scheduling the trial as being open ended.
The D speaks out of both sides of their mouths IMO. I'm sure they were too busy to talk with RA in person, they need to get out there and make the SM slugs and their Defense 'experts' get to work and to give their own "we're so grateful for the extension" to any one with a mic in their hand.Rozzi also requested that in the future, there would be no security in close proximity when conferring with Allen.
