The 17-year-old, who cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, appeared in a Regina courtroom Monday for a hearing that would decide whether the boy would be sentenced as a youth or an adult.
If the accused were sentenced as adult, he would be given an automatic life sentence.
However, because a number of reports necessary for the hearing were not completed, the hearing had to be adjourned until May 8, 2017. Those reports include a psychiatric assessment, psychological assessment, pre-sentencing report and a placement report.
A second 17-year-old teen also charged in Leflar’s murder is in custody and has a court date scheduled for Nov. 14.
