A Hamilton teen charged in the fatal shooting of Yosif Al-Hasnawi plans to plead not guilty, and has a preliminary hearing tentatively scheduled for October. The court heard that King and his lawyer, Owen Goddard of Toronto, are planning for a preliminary hearing this fall. At a preliminary hearing, the court decides if there's enough evidence for the accused to stand trial. Police say Al-Hasnawi intervened on an older man being "accosted" by two people. Bystanders on Dec. 2 told CBC News that paramedics told Al-Hasnawi he was faking his injury, and that he'd been shot with a pellet gun.
