The murder trial of a man charged with killing 25-year-old Alicia Ross is underway in a Newmarket courtroom.
Daniel Sylvester tried to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter last week, but was denied.
He has been charged with second-degree murder.
A jury of eight women and four men will begin hearing testimony today.
Ross went missing from her Thornhill residence on Aug. 17, 2005.
