🔴 LIVE: Defense Attorney Andrew Baldwin Joins Us Tonight
Defense lawyer Andrew Baldwin, counsel for Richard Allen in the Delphi murders case, joins Defense Diaries to discuss the Franks hearing motions and the critical evidence surrounding Professor Jeffrey Turco.
TONIGHT WE'RE COVERING:
The defense filed multiple Franks motions alleging that Carroll County Sheriff Tony Liggett's search warrant affidavit for Richard Allen's residence contained false statements and omitted material exculpatory evidence. Central to these filings is the controversy surrounding Purdue Professor Jeffrey Turco and what he actually told investigators about the stick configurations found on the victims' bodies.
KEY ISSUES:
➤ What did Professor Turco actually say in his 2017 report about the stick formations?
➤ Why did Prosecutor McLeland tell the defense on September 6, 2023 they couldn't identify the Purdue professor — when Holeman's own report indicates he knew Turco's identity weeks earlier?
➤ Holeman interviewed Turco on September 19, 2023 — one day after the defense filed its Franks memorandum noting the professor was "missing"
➤ Holeman's September 22, 2023 report never mentions the word "rune" despite runes being central to Turco's findings
➤ At his March 2024 deposition, Turco contradicted Holeman's sworn testimony
PROFESSOR TURCO TIMELINE:
March 1, 2017 — Turco writes initial report analyzing stick configurations
August 8, 2023 — Liggett testifies under oath professor did NOT believe sticks were runes
August 10, 2023 — Holeman testifies professor said it was NOT Odinism or cult worshipping
August 12-14, 2023 — Holeman identifies Turco, notifies McLeland
September 6, 2023 — McLeland emails defense: "no luck" identifying professor
September 18, 2023 — Defense files Franks motion
September 19, 2023 — Holeman "finds" and interviews Turco
September 22, 2023 — Holeman writes report omitting "rune" terminology
March 21, 2024 — Turco deposition contradicts law enforcement testimony but backtracks a bit...why?
