Accused in Montreal terror trial won’t present a defence; final arguments Dec. 4
MONTREAL — Lawyers for two young Montrealers have told a jury they won’t mount a defence at their trial on terror-related charges.
Jurors hearing the case of Sabrine Djermane and El Mahdi Jamali were informed of the decision by their respective lawyers Monday.
“In terms of the evidence, you now have the complete picture,” Superior Court Justice Marc David told the jury.
The Crown alleges Djermane, 21, and Jamali, 20, wanted to leave Canada to join Islamic State and had also accumulated the necessary ingredients to make a bomb.
