Denny was expected to stand trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court last month.

But that was delayed when the 35-year-old Membertou man fired his lawyer.

Court heard Thursday that Denny is still looking for a lawyer.

Taavel, a well-known gay rights activist in Halifax, died outside Menz bar on Gottingen Street following an altercation.
