A January trial date has been set for a child molester charged with killing a California girl in Reno 23 years ago after he was paroled from prison. A convicted murderer on Florida's Death Row whose claim of innocence garnered national attention when a group of prominent private detectives investigated his case has been definitively linked to the murder scene by DNA evidence, police said Wednesday. Accused killer Vincent Ferraiuolo called himself to the witness stand Wednesday. Defending himself against murder charges, Ferraiuolo was in the unusual position of also making himself the star defense witness yesterday. A witness recounted gossip that had a sinister edge Wednesday in front of court- room spectators fascinated by the talk of a deadly love triangle.
