Plead not guilty. Remanded to custody.
First Trial began on 2/25/20 with jury selection. Trial started on 2/26 with opening statements. Trial expected to last to 3/13 at the Preston Crown Court. Mrs. Justice Amanda Yip will be presiding judge. Jury: 11 women & 1 man. Trial was suspended on 3/10/20 due to COVID-19. The Judge has told the jury that the defendant has a moderate learning disability & suffers with ADHD & autism & finds communication more difficult than other people of similar age.
Re-Trial set to begin on 8/3/20 (should last 2 weeks).
6/1/20 Update: Trial has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Instead a “mention & fix” hearing will be held on 6/15/20. 6/15/20 Update: Defendant appeared via video link. Decided on trial date of 8/3/20 & should last about 2 weeks & will held at the Preston Crown Court. Next pretrial review hearing on 7/21/20.
7/21/20 Update: On Tuesday, Mrs Amanda Justice Yip along with defence and prosecution counsels, told Preston Crown Court how the re-trial into the murder of Lindsay Birbeck would run. The hearing will be split across three courtrooms to safely accommodate all those who will be attending, and allowing the defendant to appear in court via videolink. They will be connected by a live link to a third courtroom, which will seat the jury, judge, prosecution and defence barristers, and be used for witness evidence, to ensure social distancing guidelines are adhered to. Mrs Justice Yip said it would be beneficial for the teenager to be present on the first day of the trial and observe the remainder from HMP Wetherby. She said: “This would then be reviewed and if he wants he can come to court and if he understands everything he can stay at Wetherby. The re-trial, beginning on August 3, is expected to last for two weeks.
