Well, here you go!
Last month, state police arrested Richard Allen in connection with the 2017 murders of Abby Williams and Libby German.

A group of Indiana TV stations (including 13News), newspapers and media organizations have partnered in opposition to the court documents remaining sealed and have submitted a brief to the court. That legal brief requests that the judge order the probable cause affidavit and other court documents related to Allen's arrest to be publicly released.
So will the judge unseal the probable cause affidavit that explains why Allen was arrested and charged with two brutal murders?
Crawford thinks the answer is yes.
"I think that document is going to have to be unsealed and the facts of this case are going to have to be made public for the integrity of the entire judicial system in the state of Indiana, and I think the judge will see that," the longtime attorney said. "The judge will balance the interests of the public and the interests of the defendant in a fair trial and the interests of the state in getting a fair chance at prosecution. The judge will balance all that, but I think the judge will come out in favor of releasing the document."
Releasing the documents is just one option available to Gull. The special judge might order the probable cause affidavit and other court records to remain sealed. Her order could also fall somewhere in the middle, allowing some records to remain sealed or redacted while ordering others to be made public.
While it is possible Gull will announce her decision during Tuesday's court hearing, she could also take all of the evidence and arguments under consideration and announce her order at a later time.
13News will be at the hearing Tuesday morning to report the judge's ruling and to report on any documents that Gull orders to be released.
