An attorney from Franklin is now representing Richard Allen, who is accused of killing Libby German and Abby Williams in Delphi.
Andrew J. Baldwin, of the firm Baldwin Perry & Kamish, filed his appearance just before 2 p.m. Monday.A paralegal at Baldwin Perry & Kamish told the Journal & Courier that Baldwin filed as co-counsel in the possibility that other attorneys might also be appointed to represent Allen, who has received national attention since his Oct. 26 arrest on suspicion of killing Libby German and Abby Williams.
Around Oct. 26, more than five years later, police got a break and arrested Allen, according to Indiana State Police's Oct. 31 news conference. The conference was the first time police admitted they arrested Allen, even though state law requires the names, age, address, charges and factual circumstances of an arrest to be public 24 hours after the arrest.Case remains under seal.
Monday's appointment of Baldwin as Allen's counsel comes five days after Allen pleaded for a public defender in a letter he wrote to the court. The letter was mailed Nov. 4 from the White County Jail, according to the envelope.
