For the first time since the anniversary of her murder, the man accused of killing 7 year-old Gabbi Doolin at a football game in 2015 appeared in Allen County Circuit Court Friday (12/2).
DNA samples taken from the murder scene were the main point of discussion. Specifically three samples of bodily fluids. Judge Janet Crocker made a ruling that only two of those three samples will be tested because they provide enough DNA and the third sample may not have the amount necessary for testing. Judge Janet Crocker stated that plenty of DNA testing has been done in the case, and these samples weren’t the only ones from the scene that were being sent to a crime lab.
Many deadlines were set in court Friday as well. The most important one may have been the request for change of venue deadline set for March 31, 2017. Timothy Madden’s attorney, Travis Lock, says it will be tough for his client to get a fair trial in Allen County or any of the surrounding counties. Madden’s attorney said he plans to ask for a change of venue, and will do it well before the deadline.
Timothy Madden is charged with murder, rape, sodomy, and kidnapping in the death of 7-year-old Gabbi Doolin. Doolin was killed on November 14, 2015 on the campus of Allen County-Scottsville High School during a youth football game. Madden is facing the death penalty if convicted. He scheduled to be in court on July 26, 2017.
