She also said police testified that their investigation cleared the other man, and evidence presented by the defense did not negate the state’s evidence.

Gull still has several other important issues to decide — including whether the defense team will be able to tell the jury about their theory that someone other than Allen committed the murders.
Allen and his attorneys will be back in court for a status hearing Friday, Aug. 23.
Special judge refuses to dismiss Delphi murders case against Richard Allen
I am curious to see if JG rules on the SODDI defense on the 23rd, and if so what her ruling will be. I don't think she can rightfully rule they cannot present
any alternate theory of the crime with a SODDI suggestion.
But do wonder if she will allow them to outright name others who've been cleared by LE as those alternate killers or tell them they must discuss these alternate SODDI's in general terms without naming them. I honestly don't know what to expect.
I do know if I was EE, BH or any one of the other individuals they have suggested were involve in their many versions of the Frank's Motion, I would be seriously PO'd at the DT for dragging me publicly through the mud for the past year.
