More than three months have passed since a Saskatoon girl was set on fire, yet her classmate charged in connection with the incident has still not made a plea.

On Sept. 5, a 15-year-old girl was doused in a flammable substance and lit on fire at Evan Hardy Collegiate.

A 14-year-old girl has been charged with attempted murder, arson and aggravated assault.

She’s also been charged with unlawfully causing bodily harm, related to a teacher who was injured while attempting to put out the flames.

The names of the accused and victim cannot be published under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. 

On Wednesday at Saskatoon Provincial Court, Crown Prosecutor Ainsley Furlonger said there is sufficient evidence for the defence to enter a plea.

The prosecution said additional evidence of medical records, cell phone examination and forensic was provided to the defence this week.
