The defense asked for a 15-day guarantee to present their side but was not granted a guarantee.
The pre-trial hearing was confrontational in nature, according to Scripps News Indianapolis reporter Kaitlyn Kendall, who was in the courtroom.
At one point during discussions, Allen’s defense attorney Brad Rozzi told Gull, “You don’t know anything about this case.”
Both sides will return to court for a hearing on May 21-23 in Carroll County to discuss multiple additional motions.
