Two young people accused of plotting to shoot shoppers at a Halifax mall are due back in court in January to set trial dates.
Both 23-year-old Lindsay Kantha Souvannarath of Geneva, Illinois, and 21-year-old Randall Steven Shepherd of Halifax appeared in Supreme Court for the brief hearing today.
Lawyers in the case will meet with the judge on Jan. 22 to discuss disclosure, with the matter returning to court on Jan. 28 for date setting.
The Crown alleges the two accused, along with a 19-year-old man found dead in his Halifax-area home, had planned to attack the Halifax Shopping Centre on Valentine's Day.
They are awaiting trial on a charge of conspiracy to commit murder related to the alleged plot.
None of the allegations has been proven in court.
