WOODSTOCK, Ont. — The woman accused of killing eight-year-old Victoria Stafford has waived her right to a preliminary hearing.
Terri-Lynne McClintic appeared in Woodstock court Wednesday morning and quietly agreed to move directly to trial.
She will next appear in court in March to set dates for trial.
She has been charged with murder in connection with the death of Stafford, who was abducted April 8 as she walked home from school in Woodstock.
Her disappearance launched a massive search for her and, later, for her body.
McClintic and Michael Rafferty were charged with murder in May, about six weeks after Stafford went missing.
