Ummm -- you're misinterpreting what the reporter wrote.
ReplyDeleteThey are set for a trial confirmation hearing on August 19. All they do on that date is confirm that Crown and defence are ready to go ahead with the trial on Oct. 4.
But there won't be a trial on Oct. 4. People being held in custody get quicker trial dates. Huber's in jail, so they are asking for an earlier trial. It will probably be in June or July. The August and October court dates will be cancelled.
