In the case involving former University of Michigan coach Sherrone Moore, a legal battle is unfolding between prosecutors and defense attorneys over the details within the arrest warrant that resulted in his criminal charges for stalking and home invasion.

Moore was present for a probable cause hearing on Thursday, but the session was postponed after his defense team filed a motion to invalidate the arrest warrant and seek dismissal of the charges. The prosecution is expected to respond by February 2, with a new hearing scheduled for February 17.

Ellen Michaels, representing Moore, announced her request for a Franks hearing, aiming to dispute the accuracy of the warrant’s information.

“This warrant relied on statements that were both false and misleading, presented as if they were factual,” Michaels stated to the press in Ann Arbor. “We trust that the truth will be revealed in court, where it will be examined under oath.”

Moore’s court appearance follows a significant downturn in his career trajectory. On December 10, the University of Michigan terminated his position as head coach, attributing the decision to an investigation that revealed his “inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”

After his dismissal, the 39-year-old Moore, who is married with three children, allegedly broke into the home of the woman with whom he had been having an affair and threatened to take his own life. Moore was arrested after police were contacted by the woman, who was a football staffer at the university, as well as his wife.

Moore has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is required to wear a tracking device while free on bond.

Judge J. Cedric Simpson has rescheduled Moore’s probable cause hearing for March 19.

Moore was accompanied by his wife in court Thursday.
