The sort of joke I've been making is it's a kind of new take on dad bod.

Like we're actually incredibly flexible and capable of connecting in a profound way.

Like we can do this and our bodies, our brains are made for this actually.

Give it up for dads Give it up for dads Give it up for dads Come in all shapes and sizes They're full of surprises Come in all shapes and sizes They're full of surprises Of all different species And every location The dad delegation Is sweeping the nation Deep in their mind these dads are going primal

So cancel your plans and celebrate.

At David Wood's original trial in 1992, the lead prosecutor acknowledged there was almost no direct proof tying Wood to the desert murders.

In fact, she said it multiple times, like she was trying to get in front of it, called it, quote, purely a circumstantial evidence case.

This is exactly what David Wood's legal team is now trying to exploit, the lack of direct evidence, especially for a serial killer case involving six murders.

The only physical evidence against David Wood are the fibers found at his apartment and on one of the victims.

Then there's the rest of it, the jailhouse informants who claim Wood confessed to them, a rape that resembled the murders, David Wood's prior criminal history, and witnesses, people who saw him or someone who looked like him with the victims.

Some of these witnesses were pretty fuzzy on details or had credibility issues.

You might think the overall weakness of the case would be good for David Wood's lawyers, make it easier to prove his innocence.

But the problem is, the way the state constructed the case, there's no one big, shiny piece of evidence for the defense to knock down.

Instead, they have a million little threads they can pull at, seemingly endless rabbit trails to run down.

For the last 15 years, Greg Warchuk, the lead attorney on the case, has been working pretty much solo.

And for much of that time, he's been focused on the DNA.

When a few items were tested in 2010, they turned up a match to an unknown male, not David Wood.

So Greg's been litigating back and forth for more than a decade to test more items from the crime scenes.

He got a final no just a few months before we started following him around.

But now, Greg has a team and a dwindling number of days to do every little thing he's put off.
