Divorce Attorney Gregory Moore Charged with Murdering Client Aliza Sherman

The Murder of Aliza Sherman

• 💔 Aliza Sherman, an Ohio nurse, was brutally stabbed to death in broad daylight outside her attorney's office in 2013 while waiting to meet her divorce lawyer.
• ⏳ For over 12 years, her family sought justice as the case remained unsolved, with her own divorce attorney, Gregory Moore, eventually being arrested and charged.

Allegations of Premeditation and Deception

• 📅 Prosecutors allege Gregory Moore lured Aliza Sherman to a fake meeting on March 24, 2013, manipulating his phone and a mobile hotspot to create false alibis.
• 📱 Moore's texts to Sherman, including telling her to take her time and later claiming he was already there, were designed to keep her waiting outside the office.
• 🔪 After Sherman was stabbed multiple times by a masked assailant (allegedly Moore or a co-conspirator), Moore continued to text her, feigning ignorance and attempting to establish a false alibi.

Prior Misconduct and Legal Consequences

• ⚖️ Prior to the murder, Gregory Moore was investigated for using bomb threats to delay court appearances in his own cases between 2012 and 2013.
• 🚨 In 2017, Moore pleaded guilty to inducing panic and falsification related to the bomb threats and had his law license revoked.
• 🗓️ Despite the 2017 conviction, an arrest for Sherman's murder did not occur until May 2024, over 12 years after the crime.

Legal Proceedings and Expert Commentary

• 🏛️ Moore faces charges including aggravated murder, conspiracy, and kidnapping, with his arraignment scheduled for the following week.
• 🗣️ Retired Judge Fenan Rucker expressed disbelief at the alleged motive – to prevent the divorce trial – and speculated about Moore's mental state due to the extreme violence.
• 🔍 The defense is expected to use surveillance footage of the masked assailant as a point of resistance, though prosecutors have other evidence, including phone call timing and Moore's actions after the stabbing.
• ⏳ The lengthy investigation is attributed to diligent work by investigators, potential new evidence, and the fact that murder cases have no statute of limitations.
