Court Adjourns Trial of Former Officer in Double Murder

Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former police officer charged with the double murder of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, has had his court case delayed until February 4, 2025, to allow his new Legal Aid defense team more time to prepare. The delay follows a switch from his previous high-profile lawyer to a publicly-funded defense, with a 50-page affidavit submitted to the court explaining the need for additional time. Prosecutors, who initially opposed the delay, did not contest this latest request, acknowledging the complexity of the case and the need for expert reports. Lamarre-Condon is accused of premeditated murder and faces additional charges related to breaking and entering. The two victims were found dead in surfboard bags in February, shortly after having been reported missing. This adjournment marks nearly a year since Lamarre-Condon's arrest, during which he has remained in custody.
