Whynder was arraigned on Tuesday and pleaded not guilty. In a Nova Scotia Supreme courtroom in Dartmouth, Whynder was dressed in a black T-shirt as he watched the jury selection take place.
The initial verdict in the case was later overturned on appeal.
In an address to potential jurors Tuesday, Judge Joshua M. Arnold said the trial was estimated to run for 29 days.
