Abstract

The State of Ohio asserted that the claims brought forth by the Estate of Sam Sheppard fail as matter of law and requests a full hearing on the issues it presents. The motion makes three legal arguments: (1) the court lacks jurisdiction over the Estate of Sam Sheppard's claims because the claim was unreasonably delayed, (2) the statute of limitations bars any claim that Sam Sheppard might have, and (3) the Estate of Sam Sheppard does not have standing to bring a wrongful imprisonment claim because the injured party is deceased.

This motion was denied; see docket
