TL:DR

Five ex-hockey players facing some serious allegations just had their trial thrown out the window. New jury, new vibes, same charges. It's about to be a whole new saga in court. 🏒

The Deets

Okay, so listen up, fam. This is kinda heavy. Remember those five junior hockey players – Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube, and Cal Foote? Yeah, they're back in the news, and not for anything good. They're dealing with some allegations from way back in June 2018 at a hotel in London, Ontario. And the plot THICKENS!

Their trial just got a total reset. Like, poof, gone. The judge, Maria Carroccia, hit the big red button and declared a mistrial, dismissing the jury. Apparently, something sus happened that she and the lawyers talked about, but they ain't spilling the tea to us. All we know is, details are under a publication ban, but some media outlets are fighting that. It's giving drama!

So, what's next? They gotta pick a whole new jury. Like starting from square one. They need 16 potential jurors, and then they'll narrow it down to 12 to decide the case. Jury selection is already underway for the second time and they were seven jurors in by early afternoon. The previous jury was 11 women and 3 men, but it's a whole new squad now.

The allegations? These guys are saying "not guilty" to a sexual assault charge. Word is the complainant met Michael McLeod, and things allegedly happened that weren't consensual. McLeod is also facing another charge. This whole trial is expected to drag on for like, eight weeks. The first witness is supposed to testify on Monday. So, buckle up, because it's gonna be a wild ride.

A lawyer from Vancouver is shook over this mistrial situation. They're saying it could seriously delay things and mess with the victim, which is a major L. Basically, this whole thing is messy AF.
