McLeland agreed with\u2062 Judge Gull&#8217;s assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Following the meeting, Judge Gull advised Baldwin and Rozzi to \u2062withdraw \u2062from the case due to the alleged\u200b leak and\u200b the potential harm it could cause to their reputation. In \u2064open court, Judge Gull \u200daccused the defense attorneys of &#8220;gross negligence&#8221; and threatened to\u2064 publicly state this accusation unless they \u2063withdrew voluntarily. Baldwin and \u200dRozzi decided to\u200d withdraw, but\u2064 they filed a petition to \u2063represent\u200b Allen pro bono, arguing that\u2063 the accusation of gross \u200cnegligence was unfounded.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the\u2064 defense attorneys&#8217; petition, Judge \u200dGull issued an \u2063order barring them from \u2063representing Allen in any capacity.\u200c This decision led to\u200c the appeal to the \u200cIndiana \u2062Supreme Court, \u200bas \u2062Baldwin and Rozzi claimed their \u200cremoval\u200b was improper and violated their client&#8217;s right to counsel\u200c of \u2062his choice.<\/p>\n<h3>Potential Removal of Judge Gull<\/h3>\n<p>The Indiana Supreme Court will \u2064also consider \u2062the potential\u200c removal \u200dof Judge Gull from the\u2063 case.
