Richard Allen's attorneys asked special judge Frances Gull to suppress any statements their client made while he’s been in prison awaiting trial.
Allen's attorneys asked special judge Frances Gull to suppress any statements Richard Allen made while he’s been in prison awaiting trial.is arguing against a defense team motion to suppress Richard Allen's alleged confessions to the murders of Abby Williams and Libby German made while he was in prison awaiting trial.
For those reasons, Allen’s public defenders say allowing a jury to hear the alleged confessions would violate the defendant’s constitutional rights. Rozzi claims prison officials posted inmates at Allen’s cell door and required those inmates to keep logs of all of Allen’s actions, statements and behaviors. And the attorney says some of those inmates actively asked Allen questions.
In a separate memorandum supporting the defendant’s request, Rozzi argues allowing a jury to hear Allen’s statements would be a violation of his constitutional rights because Allen did not have an attorney present when the comments were made.Rozzi also says Allen suffered from a mental health disorder while in prison, made worse by being placed in isolation.
