Delphi murders suspect’s lawyers in contempt of court: State

Prosecutors in the case of the man accused of murdering two teen girls in Delphi, Indiana, want defense lawyers to be punished for a year-old leak of information about the case to the public.

Andrew Baldwin and Bradley Rozzi should be held in contempt of court, Carroll Count Prosecutor Nick McLeland said in a filing on Monday. The lawyers represent Richard Allen, the man accused of the 2017 slayings of Abigail “Abby” Williams, 13, and her friend Liberty “Libby” German, 14, whose bodies were discovered in a wooded area just off the Delphi Historic Trails system.

According to the motion, Rozzi and Baldwin should be held “in direct contempt” for allegedly leaking information about the case to the public despite the existence of a protective order. As Law&Crime previously reported, that leak was linked to Rozzi and Baldwin quitting the case — although the lawyers ended up being reinstated earlier this month after they reversed course and asked the Indiana Supreme Court to be put back on the case.

The leak came when a former colleague of Rozzi’s — who has since been arrested and charged — allegedly took photographs of evidence displayed on the table of a conference room in Rozzi’s law office.
