A 14-year-old girl accused of setting another teen on fire at a Saskatoon high school in September has not yet entered a plea, but a trial date is expected to be set on Feb. 21.

The Crown tells Global News it does expect a plea to be entered next Friday.
The accused is facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault, arson and unlawfully causing bodily harm.

Early in the case, the defence was granted a 30-day assessment to determine if the accused would be found not criminally responsible on the grounds she is suffering from a mental disorder. The results of that assessment haven’t been mentioned since.
The accused is also facing charges of assault and uttering threats in relation to another alleged incident involving a man while in custody.
