Inderjit Reyat's trial in Kanishka bombing case deferred till June 7

Toronto: The perjury trial of Inderjit Singh Reyat, accused of lying under oath during the prolonged Kanishka bombing trial, is likely to be deferred again till June 7.
The trial for Reyat, charged with lying during testimony at the Air India trial, may now be delayed till June due to scheduling conflicts involving his lawyer, Ian Donaldson, media reports said.
The trial was originally scheduled to begin on May 18 and has seen several previous adjournments.
On March 8, the trial was deferred as a Canadian judge dismissed the jury as it was about to hear the perjury trial,
saying he feared the panel may have been tainted.
British Columbia Supreme Court justice Mark McEwan had ordered that a new jury be selected. He said a remark allegedly made by one juror to others on the panel may have tainted the jury as it was being selected last week.
