Defense attorney for suspect in Aliza Sherman's murder hints at strategy: I-Team
CLEVELAND (WJW) – The accused killer of Aliza Sherman was in court on Tuesday for his first pretrial and his attorney is now hinting on plans to fight the charges. Gregory Moore, 51, is accused of killing Sherman in 2013. Her murder went unsolved for 12 years. Moore was indicted on several charges, including aggravated murder, on May 2. His defense attorney, Jon Paul Rion, is questioning why prosecutors are filing the charges now. 'The delay in this case is of concern,' Rion said. 'It is not clear if there is any new evidence.' What is the Prenatal Equal Protection Act? New bill would effectively ban abortion in Ohio Prosecutors allege the murder happened because Moore was not prepared to take her case to trial. Prosecutors have also said there is technology available now that was not available more than a decade ago when the murder happened. 'You have a due process right to have a trial within a reasonable period of time, when all the witnesses and evidence are available for both sides,' Rion said. 'If there are material witnesses or other evidence no longer in existence that could adversely affect the defendant, in this case Greg Moore, the court has to look if it's even fair to have a trial.'
