Former Psychiatrist enters plea in murder case

Former Psychiatrist Jean Eric Gassy, the man charged with killing Margaret Tobin, South Australia's director of mental health services, has plead not guilty to her murder. Prosecutor Peter Brebner QC told yesterday's court hearing the prosecution was seeking to call 150 witnesses at the trial. The hearing before Justice Ann Vanstone moved into discussion of pre-trial argument once the arraignment was completed. The legal argument is expected to take some time. When completed, a jury will be empanelled for the trial, which has been set down for three months.
