Accused Family Court bomber Leonard John Warwick will stand trial on 32 charges including four counts of murder, after a court heard blood found at the scene of a 1985 church bombing is 100-billion times more likely than not to be his.

It is alleged Warwick targeted the Family Court, members of the judiciary and the public during a series of shootings and bombings from 1980 to 1985.

Family Court judge David Opas was shot outside his home, another judge was injured by a bomb at his home, and another bomb killed Pearl Watson, the wife of Judge Ray Watson.

Another victim, Stephen Blanchard, was shot and Jehovah's Witness minister Graham Wykes was killed by a bomb at a church hall.

Local Court Magistrate Robert Williams ordered Warwick to stand trial after hearing blood found at the scene of a fatal Jehovah's Witness church bombing was 100-billion times more likely to have come from the 69-year-old than from another Australian male.

The crimes allegedly committed by Warwick include:

the fatal shooting of his brother-in-law, Stephen Blanchard, in 1980
the fatal shooting of judge David Opas in 1980
the bombing of the home of judge Richard Gee in 1984
the bombing of the Parramatta Family Court in 1984
the bombing of the home of Judge Ray Watson, killing his wife Pearle, in 1984
the bombing of a Jehovah's Witness church hall, killing Graham Wykes and injuring other churchgoers, in 1985.
