Judge Simpson granted Moore’s motion for an evidentiary hearing, giving his attorney a chance to contest the probable‑cause basis of the arrest. The lawyer contended that a detective failed to disclose that the alleged victim worked closely with Moore in the Michigan football program, a fact that could alter the interpretation of his communications.
Moore was fired in December after the university said he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Hours later he was arrested on charges of third‑degree home invasion, stalking and breaking and entering. The hearing is set for March 2.
