We spoke with legal experts to get their take on what lies ahead in the Delphi murders trial after the release of court documents.
The probable cause affidavit for the Delphi murder case is now available to the public.
“How much am I not getting? Or how much have I not heard? Or is this what the state has?” Criminal Defense Attorney Benjamin Jaffe said.“As long as they put enough information in the probable cause affidavit to validate the arrest and charges such that a judge would hold a person that they meet that minimum threshold, they can choose to leave certain information out for public consumption," Jaffe said.
Ejection marks on that bullet show it had been"cycled through" a handgun found in suspect Richard Allen's home.“The bullet puts him there. He admitted that it was his gun. He’s had it since 2001 and that he hasn’t loaned it to anybody," Kouns said.“It’s not saying that they were shot by the same kind of bullet that was matched to the same kind of gun. They’re just saying that the spent round was there," Kouns said.
