More than a decade after the death of a UK football player, the victim's family and the man who admitted shooting him are back in court.

The family of Trent DiGiuro won a wrongful death suit against Shane Ragland in 2008, but Ragland appealed the $63 million judgement. Family members say they believe there have been more than 50 hearings in the 15 years since DiGiuro was killed.

Ragland was convicted of murder in 2002, but the Kentucky Supreme Court overturned that conviction in 2006. He pleaded guilty in 2007 to second degree manslaughter and was sentenced to time served plus three days, according to a Herald Leader report.

Now 's family says they just wants some sense of justice.

"Our goal is to make him pay something every week. I don't want him to get off without doing something. I'd rather have a $100 a week. It doesn't bother me to spend 500 to get 100," Trent's father Mike DiGiuro said.

Oral arguments begin in Franklin County on Thursday.
