The withdrawal comes two days after Indiana State Police said they would investigate an evidence leak, allegedly at the hands of one attorney's team members.

What a mess. These poor children and their families deserve better than this. This situation is not fair to anyone involved.

Whenever a lawyer gets a lawyer, it's about to go down.

This case gives us nothing but exasperation

[Bubba__Sawyer]

What an absolute circus this entire case has been from day one. I've never seen anything quite like it. Like the OJ Simpson trial, the only way any lessons will be learnt from all of this is if Richard Allen is found not guilty. It's the sad price that needs to be paid for all the mistakes that have been made every step of the way.

TY for your expert coverage of the news!

Maybe the attorneys decided that they could no longer perpetrate the Odin charade.

These girls deserve justice!!!! This is BS!!!

[maryannjohnston]

Regardless if he is guilty or not, he is going to walk away a free man. I am so sorry for the girls families for having another set back. Such heartbreak. However they need to get him out of that jail before his murder is the next set back. Just saying

This case gets more crazy every day. Richard Allen dosen't have a very hood chance at a fair trial.

Isn’t there supposed to be a damn good reason why an appointed attorney can be allowed to step down? Why didn’t the judge state her reasoning for allowing the attorneys to step down?

[dawnclabaugh]

Too much corruption involved; Carroll county SHOULD be investigated and Cater should be looking at some of his ISP officers. No credible evidence against the alleged defendant but PLENTY of things dropped along the way.

Good!
We just want JUSTICE for Abby & Libby 💜💛💜

[beccagee]

Will we be hearing the update about the reason for the defense attorney's withdrawl?

[watsonspuzzle]

Oh good, I'm glad we'll be getting an explanation.

[Noraeve]

The thing is.. that whole odinism narrative does not explain why a guy who looked like Allen was on the girls phones in video saying “down the hill” and the video also picked up one of the girls saying “gun”.

[thomasappelby]

His lawyers sucks. This Odinism thing and leaking crime scene photos is just despicable.

[lovey]

Good they were fighting a losing battle with that odin garbage.

[raqlew]

I don’t know who’s guilty, but if it’s not Richard Allen… well then that’s just incredibly sad.

[XXX-cquj]

They did it on purpose to get out of it. Those girls need justice

[ariesfire]

Demand a Special Prosecutor AND a Change of Venue. That's the only
