The teen accused of fatally stabbing Devan Selvey outside of his east Hamilton high school will see his second-degree murder trial begin on Nov. 8.
The accused, who can’t be identified under a court-ordered publication ban, appeared via a conference call from the Arrell Youth Detention Centre on Thursday and was told by Justice Andrew Goodman the trial will be in front of a jury.
The trial is scheduled for four weeks with pre-trial motions to start on June 14 for three days, and four more days in August starting Aug. 16.
Counsel for the accused, who appeared in court via Zoom, suggested a “challenge for cause” when choosing jurors due to publicity surrounding the case.
The request allows for prospective jurors to be dismissed if believed the individual cannot be fair, unbiased or capable of serving as a juror.
