The trial over the death of 12-year-old Ava White is set to open today.
Last week, the trial formally began, with 47 potential jurors being brought into the court for selection. The case was adjourned and this week the trial is set to open.
Ava died on Thursday, November 25 last year after being stabbed in Liverpool city centre. She had been out with friends to watch the Christmas lights switch-on before the stabbing.
