YOUNGSTOWN

Judge Maureen Sweeney heard arguments today on routine motions in the death penalty case of Robert Seman.

Seman, 46, of Calla Road in Green, faces the death penalty if convicted of the deaths of Corinne Gump, 10, and her grandparents, William and Judith Schmidt, following a fire at their Powers away home in March, the day Seman was to go on trial for raping the girl.

The judge said she will rule on the motions at a late date, some of them today.
