Overview
- Heuermann appeared in Suffolk County court on Tuesday as Judge Timothy Mazzei set a firm filing deadline and pressed for an after–Labor Day trial start.
- The judge admonished the defense over pace and scheduling, following a late batch of new motions from Heuermann’s attorneys.
- The defense moved to suppress statements Heuermann allegedly made to court officers and to arresting officers, arguing constitutional violations.
- A defense filing detailed his July 2023 arrest and processing, noting video and audio of his transport, his calm demeanor, food provided, hours of sleep in a chair, and that he had $153 in cash.
- Prosecutors have charged Heuermann with seven murders; he has pleaded not guilty as the DA rejects plea talks and prepares for the consolidated trial that will include novel DNA evidence.
