A youth court judge is throwing out some of the evidence involving a teenager facing terrorism charges.
The boy, who at age 15 cannot be identified, has already pleaded guilty to robbing a West Island store of $2,200.
The Crown alleges he wanted to use that money to fund a trip to the Middle East where he could join Islamic State fighters.
Police officers interrogated the boy at length on two occasions: when he was arrested on Oct. 17, 2014, and again three days later, the day soldiers were attacked in St. Jean sur Richelieu.
It turns out the boy had been in contact with Martin Couture-Rouleau, the man who ran down two soldiers with his car and killed Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent.
On Oct. 20, police questioned the boy about that incident and what he knew about it, despite his repeated declarations that he had no wish to talk.
He had already waived his right to have a lawyer or his parents present.
On Friday the judge, who will be deciding the boy's fate, deciding that most of the testimony contained in the second videotaped interrogation would not be admissible, including portions regarding the St. Jean attack because it violated his right to remain silent.
Another investigator revealed that he found a large amount of ISIS propaganda material on the teen's hard drive, including a guide on how to become a lone-wolf terrorist.
The trial is expected to hear from experts on radical Islam in the near future.
