Suffolk County Crime Lab investigate Massapequa Park home of Gilgo Beach murder suspectRex HeuermannJuly 18, 2023 at 12:39 pm EDT
Heuermann, who was arrested near his New York City office last Thursday, was assigned to Brown, a criminal defense attorney based out of Suffolk County. Brown said that when he first met with Heuermann at the arraignment on Friday, the suspect appeared traumatized following his arrest. "When you have a high profile case like this, initially you have to be concerned about getting a jury that hasn't been biased, that hasn't convicted him, just based on what they've read in the newspapers and what they've heard on social media. So that's going to be a challenge," Brown stated.
Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney told ABC News on Monday that Heuermann wouldn't have been charged if they weren't confident in their case.
