WINNIPEG - It will be at least another month before Kyle Unger learns whether he will be acquitted or tried again in the murder of a Manitoba teenager.

Unger spent 14 years in prison for the 1990 death of Brigitte Grenier at a music festival south of Winnipeg.

His conviction was set aside in March by the federal justice minister, who said it was likely a miscarriage of justice.
The Crown has yet to decide whether to launch a new trial or drop the charge.

The case was put over in court Wednesday for another month.
Unger was freed after DNA tests showed a hair on the victim's clothing was not his, contrary to what his trial had been told."
