A core group of important figures have arisen in the Delphi case, as it winds through the criminal justice system. Judge Fran Gull will preside over the trial, and the pre-trial hearings. Nicholas McLeland, the prosecutor of Carroll County, will speak for the state. And defense attorneys Brad Rozzi and Andy Baldwin will represent Richard "Rick" Allen, who stands accused of the murders.

We will profile each of these figures, in a bid to better understand the important people at the heart of this case.

Today, we'll be airing the first of three episodes on Judge Fran Gull. You'll hear more about her career as a prosecutor in Allen County, and some of the hard calls she's had to make as a judge.
