A New York judge ruled that new DNA technology, whole genome sequencing, can be used in the trial of alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann. Heuermann's defense challenged the method, but prosecutors argued its validity based on established scientific principles. The DNA evidence, along with cell phone data, search histories, and witness testimonies, links Heuermann to the murders of at least seven women. Heuermann's attorney plans to cross-examine witnesses and has requested separate trials. The case involves advanced DNA analysis of degraded samples, a significant development in forensic science. Heuermann pleads not guilty, and a trial date is pending.
