The trial for a Calgary couple accused of neglecting their diabetic 15-year-old son is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 24.
Rodica Radita and Emil Marian Radita are charged with first-degree murder in the death of Alex Radita, who was found in medical distress in his Citadel home in May of 2013.
An autopsy determined he died from a bacterial infection, which he contracted due to complications from neglect and starvation from Type 1 diabetes.
Rodica and Emil were charged in February 2014 and ordered to stand trial a year later, in February 2015.
