Day two of the trial for the second teen accused in the death of Hannah Leflar, 16, ended almost as quickly as it began. The judge dismissed the jury just 10 minutes into the proceedings, citing an “issue” that had come up.
The judge said she needed time to discuss the issue with lawyers.
Leflar’s body was found in her Regina home in January of 2015.
The trial for the teen, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, began Monday, with jury selection and testimony from Leflar’s stepfather and the first officer on scene.
The Crown is expected to call 20 witnesses during the proceedings, which are expected to last two weeks.
A second teen has already pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in Leflar’s death. He will complete a psychological assessment before being sentenced next May.
