Aliza Sherman murder case in Cleveland: Recordings of Gregory Moore's jail calls to be destroyed after prosecutors acknowledge 'inadvertent error'
Cuyahoga County prosecutors have admitted Texas jail calls between Aliza Sherman murder suspect Gregory Moore and an attorney should never have been recorded.
CLEVELAND — Cuyahoga County prosecutors will no longer challenge a defense motion seeking to destroy recordings of calls between an attorney and Gregory Moore, the man accused of killing his former client Aliza Sherman 13 years ago in downtown Cleveland.
In its own motion filed Wednesday, the state of Ohio acknowledged the calls should never have been recorded because the conversations were covered by attorney-client privilege. Members of the county prosecutor's office spoke with an official at the Texas jail where Moore was being held after his May 2, 2025, arrest, and that official claimed the calls were only recorded "due to an inadvertent error."
Prosecutors initially filed a brief in opposition before relenting Wednesday. Moore's trial remains scheduled for Sept. 14, and he faces the following charges in connection with Sherman's death:
- One count of aggravated murder
- One count of conspiracy
- Six counts of murder
- Two counts of kidnapping
