Special Judge Frances Gull decided to hold off on deciding a key motion in the Delphi murders trial until Friday morning. On Thursday, Judge Gull told prosecutors she needed additional time to evaluate their request to block the jury from seeing  police sketches used before Richard Allen’s arrest.

On Thursday, Special Judge Frances Gull also heard numerous arguments in the Allen County Courthouse on a number of motions concerning composite sketches, ballistics evidence, and testimony from prison guards. The hearing marked the final step in the case before trial begins Friday in Carroll County.
