Abstract

The State argues that even viewing all evidence in the light most favorable to the Estate of Sam Sheppard, the Estate cannot demonstrate that: (1) the court has subject matter jurisdiction, and (2) the Estate has standing. The State argues in the alternative that this lawsuit is not time-barred by the statute of limitations and laches. In addition, the Estate has provided no significant probative evidence in support of its claim; it is instead repackaging evidence that has been available for decades and "spinning" the meaning of scientific data to fit its interest. This argument does not rise to a level sufficient to overcome a motion for summary judgment. Therefore, the State is entitled to judgment as a matter of law since no genuine issue of material fact exists.

The State's Motion for Summary Judgment was denied on 01/24/00; see docket
