RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A judge on Wednesday said prosecutors can use obtained through advanced techniques in the forthcoming murder trial of Rex Heuermann, the man accused of being Long Island’s Gilgo Beach serial killer.
Judge Timothy Mazzei, in his 29-page ruling, concluded that experts presented by defense lawyers provided no “empirical proof to refute the validated empirical evidence“ presented by prosecutors and their expert witnesses during recent hearings and court filings.
