According to the attorney's, evidence that was found during a a search warrant of Allen's home in October 2022, was unlawfully obtained.
Allen's lawyers argued that the sheriff obtained the search warrant by lying to a Carroll County judge.
The Frank's hearing request was to explain why this evidence should be thrown out.
On Tuesday, special judge Frances Gull denied their request for a hearing ruling that the sheriff obtained the search warrant by reasonable belief that evidence of the murders would be found in Allen's home.
