One of two Quebec teens charged in an alleged murder plot to kill fellow classmates will not stand trial.
A youth court judge declared the teen not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder during a hearing today in St-Hyacinthe.
The Crown and defence presented a joint recommendation to that effect earlier today.
His co-accused in the case, now 14, will return to court in April.
They faced numerous charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit sexual assault against classmates at a high school in St-Hyacinthe, Que., about 60 kilometres east of Montreal.
Provincial police had said the evidence suggested the pair were on the verge of carrying out the plot.
