In documents filed before today's hearing, Prade's attorneys argue the new DNA evidence generates questions and reasonable doubt that warrants a new trial.

She did not give a date but did say it would take longer than a week. Prosecutors said the "new" evidence wasn't new, but was covered and offered to the jury in the original trial, therefore not meeting the burden to grant a new trial.
