Judge weighs whether to unseal records in teens’ killings
Associated Press— An Indiana judge said Tuesday that she will decide soon whether to unseal court records that led to a man’s arrest in the 2017 killings of two teenage girls, while a prosecutor urged the court to keep the documents sealed because others could be involved in the case. Special Judge Fran Gull said she’d decide the matter “in due haste” after she listened to arguments from attorneys for 50-year-old Richard Matthew Allen and the county prosecutor. The probable cause affidavit and charging information against Allen have not been publicly released since they were sealed last month at the request of Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland. Several news organizations, including The Associated Press, filed a brief with the court on Monday urging Gull to unseal the probable cause affidavit and charging information that would show what evidence authorities have linking Allen to the killings.
