## Summary

Victoria Heuermann, daughter of serial killer Rex Heuermann, was dismissed from jury selection for a child molestation trial in Nassau County after disclosing her family connection. She had said she believed she could remain impartial, but the judge, prosecution and defence apparently decided she should not serve, with the precise reasoning unclear.

Her lawyer said Heuermann had been willing to serve and had declined his offer to seek an excuse, despite feeling nervous about returning to court. Her father pleaded guilty in April to murdering seven women and admitted killing an eighth; he was sentenced to life without parole. The jury case concerns child molestation, and Heuermann’s dismissal followed a private discussion with the judge.
