Not finding anything about Thursday or Friday - so not sure if they even had trial since Dr. Pickett was found dead. As soon as I find something I will redo my notes.


Monday, October 2nd:
*Trial continues (@ 10am PT) – British Columbia, Canada – M. S. (13) (last seen alive on July 18, 2017 at a local Tim Hortons, Burney B.C. & her body was found 5 hours later on July 19, 2017 in Burnaby’s Central Park, Vancouver) - *Ibrahim Ali (28/now 32) arrested & charged (9/7/18) & indicted (11/25/19) with 1st degree murder. Plead not guilty. Held without bail.
Police used a new & somewhat controversial “DNA dragnet” technique, after collecting DNA at the crime scene that indicated a suspect of Middle Eastern descent. (He is a Syrian refugee who entered Canada 3 months before murder).
Trial began on 3/17/23 with jury selection & ended on 3/23/23.
Trial began on 4/5/23 & continued on 4/11/23. (expected to run thru June 30 & changed (5/17/23) maybe thru September).

Still nothing in the media but I was able to confirm the trial has been continuing. I think this link will always have the most recent day's schedule showing. Right now it still shows last Friday's, but it should be updated for today in a couple hours (Monday was the Thanksgiving holiday in Canada so no court).

Thank you @jash - still wondering if the defense has the case or if the jury has the case?


And WHY no articles??!! :(

edited to add - I noticed in my notes that the Judge said this trial would last until September...

I don't remember seeing the JURY notation in the schedule on the other recent dates so my first thought was that the jury has the case now but I don't want to jump to conclusions.

I keep checking for news articles and I don't understand why all sources have gone quiet since Dr. Pickett was last supposed to continue her cross-examination. Hopefully if closing arguments have happened, we will hear about it.

I am not surprised if the trial got extended, between the defendant's "illnesses" and Dr. Pickett's death. Hopefully the jury was able to rearrange their private lives to accommodate. They've really fulfilled their civic duty with this one.
 
A new article! Finally!

Sounds like the trial itself has only resumed today. The other dates we saw may have been closed hearings to deal with the fallout of Dr. Pickett's death.

Jury in B.C. Supreme Court murder trial told witness died before finishing testimony

Vancouver police have said Pickett's body was found in Vancouver's Southlands neighbourhood on Sept. 28
vancouversun.com vancouversun.com

The jury in a B.C. Supreme Court murder trial has been told that an expert witness didn’t finish her testimony because she is dead.

Justice Lance Bernard told the jury Tuesday at the resumption of the first-degree murder trial for Ibrahim Ali that when Dr. Tracy Pickett didn’t show up to finish her cross-examination last month, the court wasn’t aware that she had died.
.
.
.
Bernard asked jury members not to speculate on her death, saying they would be told what to do with the doctor’s testimony after Crown and defence lawyers make submissions to the court.

Ibrahim Ali: B.C. teen murder trial jury told physician witness died | Globalnews.ca

The jury in a British Columbia Supreme Court murder trial has been told that an expert witness didn't finish her testimony because she is dead.

...the Crown called [GP], the manager of a Burnaby Tim Hortons restaurant.

[GP] testified that CCTV footage from inside the Tim Hortons showed the teen entering the business around 6 p.m. on July 18, 2017, wearing jean shorts, a black T-shirt and wired earbuds.

She testified that the footage the jury would watch showed the girl spent about 90 minutes at the restaurant.

Dr. Tracy Pickett death puts sex-assault testimony in limbo at Burnaby murder trial

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Lance Bernard told the jury at the Ibrahim Ali murder trial Tuesday that he will have to make a decision on Pickett's testimony since she didn't complete it before her death in September.
www.burnabynow.com www.burnabynow.com

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Lance Bernard addressed the jury at the trial of Ibrahim Ali Tuesday for the first time since police found the body of Dr. Tracy Pickett in Vancouver’s Southlands neighbourhood on Sept. 28.

Bernard told the jury the trial will continue as planned unless they hear something to the contrary from him.
 
Thanks @jash ! I shall update my notes. I did notice all reported DID stop after Dr. Pickett's death. Hopefully her death was not related to the case & not foul play either!
Again - THANKS for finding those new articles! :D
