Stronach's 2nd Trial Pushed to Spring, 4-Week Proceedings

0:00It's April 22nd. You're listening to Calvary News today, AI-powered local news. Frank Stronock's second sexual assault trial got pushed back to next spring. The billionaire auto parts magnate, now 93, won't face a jury in new market until jury selection on May 10th, 2027. That trial set to run four weeks with pretrial motions kicking off next March. Earlier this week, lawyers met with a judge and scrapped the September date. Six women have accused Stronock of assaults dating back to 1988, up through February 2024. He's awaiting a verdict from his first trial in Toronto this winter. Justice Ann Malloy will deliver that decision on June 19th. Prosecutors started with seven complainants but narrowed it to five charges tied to three women. Stronock will be 94 by the time the second trial rolls around, adding another layer to this drawn out legal saga. Defense lawyers stayed tight-lived on the delay, so we'll keep watching how this unfolds
