All defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges and the next steps involve ongoing testimonies, including that of a former teammate, Tyler Steenbergen. The proceedings have been marked by technical challenges, notably with remote testimony, and graphic details relating to sexual assault allegations may arise, impacting sensitive audiences.
Justice Maria Carroccia has discharged the jury in the trial of five former world junior hockey players, meaning the guilt or innocence is now for the judge alone.
