NEWSCASTER, VOICE OF: Judge George Greer denied the church's motion which claimed McPherson's aunt, Dell Liebrich, is not the official trustee of McPherson's estate. McPherson was a church member who died in December of 1995. In the lawsuit her family blames the church for her death. Dell Liebrich, as McPherson's representative, is suing the church over McPherson's death. If the judge had ruled in favor of the church, it might have put a stop to the civil lawsuit. The trial is scheduled to begin in June.
