The Sam Sheppard Trial 2000: The Sheppard Pretrial Part 2

The hearing took less than an hour, but no resolutions were made on whether specific types of evidence could be brought into this case. The Cuyahoga county prosecutor's office doesn't want information on murders, three of which were allegedly committed by Richard Eberling...saying it would be confusing to a jury. He was the window washer employed by the Sheppard. Attorneys for the Sheppard family believe Eberling was Marilyn's killer. He was in prison serving time for a 1984 murder when he died two years ago. Sheppard attorney Terry Gilbert says Eberling's past is relevant and a necessary part of the overall testimony.

Judge Ronald Suster says he will make a decision on all of the pretrial motions later this week. The hearings will continue at 9:30 this morning.
