Defense team wants to throw out most of the evidence in the case.

They say it hinges on an unconstitutional genetic investigation process.

Prosecutors say there is nothing unconstitutional about the use of the process.

Defense team contends that the search warrants were tainted by police misconduct.

The judge says he doesn't want potential jurors "tainted" by hearing about any evidence not allowed in trial.

Kristi Goncalves said she talked to the coroner and knows what happened to her daughter.

"If he did anything like he did to our daughter to the others, then he deserves to die," she said.

"This case is turning into a hamster wheel of motions, hearings, and delayed decisions," family said.
