Scott Peterson’s preliminary hearing will start Wednesday, a day later than planned, a judge ruled Friday.
Attorneys on both sides shared witness lists with each other but did not make them public.

Nor did they reveal which witnesses each side will try to prevent from testifying.

Peterson, who turned 31 today, is charged in the deaths of his pregnant wife, Laci, and their son, Conner.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Al Girolami granted the fourth and presumably final delay to accommodate Peterson’s lead attorney, Mark Geragos.

He is involved in a Los Angeles murder trial that is not expected to conclude until next week.

Girolami also will allow Peterson to wear street clothes rather than inmate garb to the preliminary hearing.

A prosecutor had asked the judge to revisit the issue because television and still cameras won’t be allowed in the courtroom.

Girolami issued a tentative decision in favor of holding a special hearing on whether to allow mitochondrial DNA evidence gathered by authorities.

Such hearings allow judges to explore technology that might be new to courtrooms.

The judge, however, ruled against special hearings on cadaver dogs and global positioning system tracking technology.

Peterson’s defense hopes to prevent prosecutors from presenting such evidence.

Do you think he's wondering how many birthdays he has left to celebrate?

In my post #679,which is from today's hearing,2nd from the last paraagraph,"The judge, however, ruled against special hearings on cadaver dogs and global positioning system tracking technology".Do you know if the judge's refusal covers both the Frank's Hearing and the 402's on the cadaver dogs evidence.
