The attorney once trusted to protect Aliza Sherman is now accused of taking her life.

Twelve years after the Beachwood nurse and mother of four was brutally stabbed outside her attorney’s downtown Cleveland office, Gregory Moore faces 10 criminal counts — including aggravated murder and kidnapping — in her death.

In this episode of “Aliza: Her Story,” we dive into how the case against Moore is taking shape. Our hosts speak to veteran defense attorney Larry Zukerman, co-managing partner of Zukerman Lear Murray & Brown in Cleveland, about what’s happening inside the courtroom, and what to expect as the long-awaited trial approaches.

The attorney trusted to advocate for Aliza Sherman during her contested divorce trial is now –12 years later – charged with her murder.

Gregory Moore, 51, of Sagamore Hills, was indicted on May 2 on 10 criminal counts in the death of Sherman on March 24, 2013. Sherman, a 53-year-old in-vitro fertilization nurse and mother of four, was stabbed 11 times outside the Stafford Law Company in downtown Cleveland, where Moore worked, and she was scheduled to meet with him that Sunday night. She died later that day.

This special episode of "Aliza: Her Story" explores this latest update in the 12-year cold case ahead of Moore's extradition hearing on May 14 in Texas and scheduled arraignment on May 16 at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center.

Theories abound regarding the identity of Aliza Sherman's killer.

And, you'll get a glimpse at how — despite the agony and sorrow that surrounds March 24 — Aliza's memory and spirit have brought new meaning to that date and allowed for new relationships to blossom.

For some, Aliza Sherman’s name is associated only with tragedy: Beachwood nurse on the verge of a disputed divorce trial. Stabbed 11 times and left for dead on the sidewalk. But the truth is more complicated – and more interesting. In this first episode, we explore Aliza's rare brand of kindness.

Aliza Sherman, a 53-year-old in-vitro fertilization nurse and mother of four, was stabbed 11 times March 24, 2013, in downtown Cleveland. She died later that day, and a decade later, her murder remains unsolved. News accounts of her brutal murder in broad daylight often describe Aliza Sherman in a sentence or two. But from those few short lines, you can't begin to understand the depths of who she was or what she meant to so many. In this podcast, we want to introduce you to Aliza and explore the ways she made — and continues to make — a difference in people's lives.
