OH OH - Aliza Sherman, 53, Cleveland, 24 March 2013

[STLBlues]

To delay the divorce hearing perhaps. Crazy, I know.

Yeah, but why would HER attorney want to delay the divorce hearing? Even if he did want to delay it for some reason, surely he could have come up with a legal reason for a delay rather than killing his own client.

I guess we have to wait for the answers. If we ever get them realistically. He may have run out of extensions. Desperate people do desperate things....

True, the public may never learn the answers.

‘We will be going to trial’: Attorney denies killing Aliza Sherman, vows to fight charges

This trial should be interesting to follow. Based on news reports of the initial investigation, there seems to have been at least one co-conspirator involved in Aliza's murder. Prosecutors haven't said much about that lately. Her family should make sure her murder is fully investigated. So relieved they're finally seeing some justice for their mother. JMO

From the Cleveland.com article above:

“After the crime happened, this defendant was aided by people who then tried the next morning to get rid of the electronic means that he used,” he said. “Twenty-one minutes of video footage were missing from inside the building that should have captured this crime but didn’t.”

Filiatraut also pointed out that a voicemail left by Sherman with the Stafford office was deleted before police could access it.

It sounds like others were involved in planning and/or carrying out this murder. That fits with news media reports shortly after the murder.

GM posted bond.

GM posted bond.

Very surprising considering he was tipped off to his original arrest and had already escaped to Texas, probably on his way to Mexico or elsewhere. One would think he would be denied because he's a flight risk.

This is the most bizarre murder case. Who is the judge who granted bail? Who is funding it?

No arrest of the other people who helped hide/destroy security video evidence? These people have some amazing connections.

Gregory Moore posts $2 million bond in Aliza Sherman murder case, leaves Cuyahoga jail

He paid the full amount.

Bureau of Criminal Investigations took over the case in 2021.

I assume Moore was disbarred after the bomb threats? I wonder what kind of job he has now that can pay that bond?

He paid a $2 million dollar bond? Sheesh.
It sounds as if he was ripping her off over the divorce proceedings and didn't want to be exposed.
The fact that he had charges for making false bomb threats to delay other trials suggests he was no stranger to dodgy dealings.

There's also the ex husband who died in 2023. He sounded like a real piece of work, abusive, hiding money in offshore accounts, police called to the address multiple times when they were living together. He lawyered up immediately and refused to even talk to police after his wife's death.

Yeah, but why would HER attorney want to delay the divorce hearing? Even if he did want to delay it for some reason, surely he could have come up with a legal reason for a delay rather than killing his own client.

According to the indictment, Moore was unprepared for the divorce trial scheduled for March 25, 2013 (The day after the murder). Rather than representing her or withdrawing, he allegedly plotted to make her unavailable to attend—either through serious harm or death.

“Clearly, blood on the victim from a third-party male found on the person of the decedent at the time of the homicide is critical, material and incredibly exculpatory evidence,” the motion states. “Mr. Moore hereby respectfully requests this Court to allow for an independent test by the Defense of item 25.2, ‘Swab from interior of watch band (e-cells),’ as well as the watch itself worn by the decedent Aliza Sherman. It is known through evidence review that Dr. Butt of the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office advised that blood DNA was recovered from the watch collected at the crime scene, and further, “that it was a mixture of the victim’s blood and an unknown male.” Importantly, the unidentified blood was tested against a sample of DNA from Gregory Moore and Gregory Moore was found to be “excluded as contributor[] to the DNA mixture from item 25.2 and 27.1 (swab of knife handle).

Prosecutors object to Gregory Moore's request for new DNA test on evidence in Aliza Sherman 2013 Cleveland murder case

Prosecutors are asking Judge Kara Krivosh to deny Gregory Moore's motion for independent DNA testing, citing multiple prior tests and logical inconsistencies.

www.wkyc.com

'CLEVELAND — The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office has responded to the motion filed by Gregory Moore — the 51-year-old man charged with murder in the 2013 death of Aliza Sherman in Cleveland — asking for an independent DNA test on a watch found on Sherman at the time of her killing.'

'In a motion filed on Aug. 13, Moore's attorney, Jon Paul Rion, wrote that evidence found on the watch and wristband of Sherman in 2013 showed that it had DNA from a male that was not Moore, nor Sherman's estranged husband Sanford.
"Clearly blood on the victim from a third-party male found on the person of the decedent at the time of the homicide is critical, material and incredibly exculpatory evidence," Rion added in his motion to Krivosh. '

If the evidence was blood from a third party male, then its worth looking into. It's already been implied by LE that someone else was involved in the murder. That doesn't necessarily exculpate Moore for being involved in helping plan or set it up.

It's important to focus on who would benefit from Aliza's murder. There was certainly at least one other person who stood to benefit financially from her demise. No Alize, no divorce settlement, no alimony, etc.

Hearing continued for former attorney accused of killing his client, Aliza Sherman

Gregory Moore is currently out on a $2 million bond.

Another hearing was scheduled today for lawyers to discuss further DNA testing of the victim’s watch, but the hearing was continued. No new date was set, but it will probably be announced soon. From news reports at the link, it’s expected the trial will take place sometime next year.
