    Trial Off Until Next May For Man Charged In 2012 Quebec Election-night Shooting

    The Canadian Press, 30 Jul, 2015 04:55 PM
      MONTREAL — There has been yet another delay in the trial for the man charged in Quebec's 2012 election-night shooting.
       
      Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer has postponed jury selection in Richard Henry Bain's first-degree murder trial until next May.
       
      Bain's lawyer requested the delay today, saying he has not yet been able to find a psychiatrist to conduct a new evaluation of his client.
       
      The Crown prosecutor argued the trial should proceed as scheduled this September because victims need closure and witnesses may begin to forget their version of events.
       
      Bain is charged in the slaying of lighting technician Denis Blanchette outside a Montreal nightclub on Sept. 4, 2012, as then-Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois was toasting her party's election win.
       
      He also faces two counts of attempted murder and several weapons-related charges.
