"Is justice in jeopardy?" This question looms large in the Delphi murder case, a saga that continues to captivate and perplex the public. Recently, Judge Francis C. Gull, at the center of this high-profile case, was appointed as the new Chief Judge of the Allen Superior Court. This development, discussed extensively by Tony Brueski and former Federal Prosecutor Neama Rahmani on the "Hidden Killers" podcast, raises critical questions about the future of the case and the implications of Judge Gull's new role.
 
 As Rahmani, an experienced voice in legal matters, states, "In government, sometimes promotions come unexpectedly, often to those who have merely outlasted others." This insight sheds light on the peculiar timing of Judge Gull's elevation amid allegations of her prejudicial conduct and possible legal violations in the Richard Allen case. The promotion, effective January 1st, 2024, has sparked debates about whether this move is a strategic exit from the Delphi case or a mere coincidence.
 
 Tony Brueski, host of the podcast, questions the logic behind Judge Gull's continued involvement in the case, considering the mounting controversies. "Is this a way for her to exit gracefully, without admitting any fault?" Brueski asks, highlighting the common practice of rotating judges and the potential for administrative responsibilities to reduce her caseload. Rahmani adds, "This might be the perfect avenue to have her save face, if it's determined she shouldn't be on this case any longer."
 
 The discussion takes a deeper dive into the legal intricacies of the case. The defense has repeatedly requested Judge Gull's disqualification, citing bias and improper rulings. "We're witnessing an unusual intersection of legal procedures and administrative decisions," Rahmani explains, emphasizing the unusual delay in bringing the case to trial. The appointment of Judge Gull as Chief Judge might provide the necessary impetus for her to step down from the case, potentially paving the way for a new judge to oversee the proceedings.
 
 Furthermore, Brueski and Rahmani discuss the potential impact of the appointment on the trial's timeline. "Considering the delays and defense motions, it's unlikely we'll see a trial in 2024," Rahmani states. He predicts a protracted legal process, extending possibly into 2025 or later. This delay raises concerns about Richard Allen's right to a speedy trial and the prolonged wait for justice for the victims' families.
 
 The conversation shifts to the implications of Judge Gull's promotion on her ability to effectively oversee the case. As Chief Judge, her administrative responsibilities might limit her availability, leading to further delays. Rahmani suggests that even if appellate courts don't force her hand, the added responsibilities might necessitate her stepping down from the case. "Judges make mistakes and get reversed all the time. It's embarrassing but not necessarily disqualifying," he notes, providing insight into the judicial system's inner workings.
 
 As the podcast episode concludes, the hosts ponder the broader implications of this development. "Will Judge Gull's promotion lead to a more transparent and expedited process, or will it further complicate an already intricate legal saga?" Brueski asks. The appointment of Judge Gull as Chief Judge has added another layer of complexity to the Delphi murder case, leaving many to wonder about the path to justice in this convoluted and emotionally charged case.
 
 As the public and legal community await further developments, the appointment of Judge Gull as Chief Judge raises more questions than answers. The Delphi murder case, already shrouded in mystery and controversy, now faces an uncertain future, with the pursuit of justice hanging in the balance.
