Trial for the mother of the girl from LaSalle is set for next Monday.

In the city of Montreal, there are several noteworthy developments taking place.

Metro Line Expansion

The STM, in collaboration with Mayor Valérie Plante, unveiled the names of the future stations of the blue metro line on Tuesday. The expansion is a significant step forward in the city's public transportation system, and the public eagerly awaits the opening of these new stations.

Missing LaSalle Girl Trial

A more sombre note is the upcoming trial of the mother of the "LaSalle girl," who was found in an Ontario field in June. The accused, whose identity is protected by a publication ban to safeguard the child's identity, will face trial next Monday. The trial is set for September 15, and it will focus on the mental state of the 34-year-old accused woman. The accused lived in the Montreal borough of LaSalle with her daughter in June.

The girl was missing for three days and three nights, from June 15 to June 18, before being found safe and sound near Highway 417 in Ontario. The mother was arrested in the early hours of June 16. The facts of the case are not in dispute, and a decision could be rendered on the same day.

Psychiatric Report Debate

In a separate trial, there is a debate about the conclusions of the psychiatric report that will be presented in court. The accused was evaluated at the Philippe-Pinel National Institute of Forensic Psychiatry. The 48-page report from the Institute was submitted to lawyers on Monday, but its contents remain confidential. The trial, which is set for an unspecified date, will see the testimony of only the psychiatrist who wrote the report.

Theatre Performance

On a lighter note, Jean-Philippe Pleau's popular story "Rue Duplessis" is being performed on the Duceppe stage. The play is a favourite among Montrealers, and the performance is expected to be a sell-out.

Publications BLD Director Passes Away

The general director of Publications BLD, the publisher of "Les Débrouillards," has passed away on Sunday. The loss is a significant one for the Montreal literary community, and condolences have poured in from across the city.

Lawyer Jillian Knowles is defending the 34-year-old woman in both the missing LaSalle girl case and the psychiatric report debate trial. The trials promise to be intriguing, and the public will be closely following the developments.
