We’re back in London, Ont., court
Good morning. I’m a writer and editor based in Kingston, Ont., and I’ll be curating your live page updates today.
We have multiple reporters at the Ontario Court of Justice in London, Ont., where the new sexual assault trial for five former world junior hockey players is set to begin this morning.
It comes after a mistrial was declared by Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia, three days into the first trial. We can’t report anything that happened in the previous proceedings because of a publication ban.
Today, we’re expecting to hear the judge’s instructions to the jury that was chosen Friday as well as the Crown’s opening statement. The trial is set to go half a day because of the federal election.
Stay with us as we bring the latest developments throughout the day.
