In a well-known legal case, Rex Heuermann is charged with killing seven women. His defense team has been actively trying to build their argument before the trial begins.
Recently, his lawyers went before a judge with a specific request. They wanted to throw out key evidence that was collected. This evidence is based on DNA, and it is very important to the case against him.
The lawyers argued that the evidence should not be allowed in court. They made several arguments hoping to convince the judge. However, the judge disagreed with their points.
The judge's decision was to deny the request. This means the DNA evidence can be presented during the trial. This ruling is a significant setback for the defense and a win for the people prosecuting the case.
With this issue settled, both sides are now preparing for the expected trial next year. The focus will now be on presenting all the facts and evidence to a jury.
