The first week of testimony has wrapped up at the preliminary hearing for one of the teens charged with Hannah Leflar’s murder.
The 16-year-old girl was found dead in her north Regina home nearly a year ago.
The prelim determines whether the Crown has presented enough evidence against the now 17-year old to go to trial. He is charged with first-degree murder.
A publication ban is in place so details of who is taking the stand, the facts being presented nor the evidence can be reported.
About a dozen family members representing Hannah Leflar have been in court every day, making notes, and often breaking under the weight of what they are hearing.
The teen in the prison box, mostly wearing jeans and a t-shirt, does little while listening.
Another teen charged with first-degree murder opted to go straight to trial. His first court appearance at Court of Queen’s Bench is set for Jan. 19.
The preliminary hearing wraps up next Friday.
