Judge reviews demurrer in Sheppard libel suit against Chronicle Telegram
Lorain County Common Pleas Judge LeRoy F. Kelly reviewed a motion to reconsider a demurrer that had dismissed Chronicle Telegram Managing Editor Peter Stevenson from a $1 million libel suit. The suit, brought by Dr Stephen Sheppard and Rocky Ryer, centers on an article Feb 14 about deaths since Dr Sam Sheppard's brother's conviction for Marilyn Sheppard's murder. The judge upheld the demurrer on lack of listed special damages. Sherman argues the piece is libelous per se and needs no special damages.
