Suspected Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann returned to court Wednesday on Long Island, where a judge set a March 28 date for what's called a Frye hearing to determine whether DNA evidence will be admissible during trial.
Heuermann, 61, has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the deaths of seven women spanning from 1993 to 2011.
Investigators say they matched hair fibers that were found on the victims to Heuermann through a process called nuclear DNA testing, which has never been used before in a New York court. While Heuermann's defense team calls the process "magic," prosecutors say it's used throughout forensic science for things like preventing disease and identifying remains. They want the judge to accept what they call ever-evolving and advanced cutting edge DNA techniques.
"The burden is on us and, in laymen's terms, we have to establish that the science we are seeking to use is generally accepted in the relevant scientific community," Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said.
"But all the scientists we speak to, the whole genome sequencing has absolutely no business to be used in a forensic, meaning a criminal, court," defense attorney Michael Brown said.
Both sides are expected to call a total of eight witnesses, including a doctor and other experts, over the next few months. They will be pre-trialing hearings before a judge, and there will not be a jury present.

Will there be 1 trial or many?​

Heuermann's defense is also pushing to separate the case into five trials, saying it may influence the jury to have so many allegations presented together.
"You never want to use evidence that is unrelated, which would prejudice the jury's determination," Brown said.
Prosecutors, however, say there is overlapping evidence and call it a serial killer case.
"This is an individual who had the specific intent to kill, identify, locate, lure, obtain control over, and murder multiple victims," Tierney said.
The judge is expected to rule on that matter in the coming weeks.

Tierney is good about press conferences after... typically no cameras in the courtroom in NY
