Speaker 3: A major legal battle is unfolding in the case of

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 3: accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Huerman. His defense team

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: is challenging key DNA evidence and pushing for separate trials. Heuerman,

32
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 3: a New York architect, has charged in the murders of

33
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: at least seven women dating as far back as nineteen

34
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,040

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: crime scenes links him to the killings, but his lawyers

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: argue the forensic technique used whole genome sequencing isn't widely

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: accepted and should be thrown out. They're also calling for

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: separate trials, saying the alleged murders span different years, methods,

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 3: and locations. Human's attorney Michael Brown warns that trying all

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: cases together could unfairly influence jurors. Suffolk County District Attorney

41
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 3: Ray Tierney strongly disagrees. In a court filing. Prosecutors say

42
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: the DNA method is well established in forensic science and

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: widely accepted by experts. They also claim Hureman kept a

44
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 3: digital blueprint of his alleged crimes, checklists detailing steps before, during,

45
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: and after each killing. Prosecutors will formally respond to the

46
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:51,240
