York Crown Court
THE trial of a teenager accused of attempted robbery has been halted and the jury discharged at York Crown Court.
Nathan Barrie Kelly, 19, of St John’s Walk, off Heworth Green, faced allegations that he pulled out a “combat” knife and confronted a group of students in Heworth before trying to rob one of them.
The Recorder of York, Judge Stephen Ashurst, yesterday told the jury that new evidence had come to light which would cause a delay.
He ordered the jury to be discharged and a fresh trial to be held at a later date before a new jury.
