QUEBEC — The trial for the man accused of gunning down six men inside a Quebec City mosque will take place next March. Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, faces six counts of first-degree murder and six of attempted murder using a restricted firearm. Superior Court Justice Raymond W. Pronovost announced the March 26 date during a hearing Friday at the Quebec City courthouse. “All of the parties, namely the Crown, the accused and the Superior Court, expressed a clear desire for the trial date to be set as soon as possible,” prosecutor Thomas Jacques said. Pronovost did release dozens of other passages Friday, following through on a Quebec court decision to make the contents available to the media.
