The pair have elected trial by provincial court judge.

A kidnapping and robbery conspiracy charge case against two men has begun in Vancouver with a judge hearing evidence to decide its admissibility in the trial.

Isaiah Castro, 24, and Paolo Silvera, 23, are jointly charged with conspiracy to both kidnap and rob a person in Surrey in December 2019.

The case was in a voire dire Nov. 20, a hearing akin to a trial within a trial where the judge hears evidence to decide if it can be heard as part of the trial proper.
Contents of voire dires are covered by a publication ban in case the evidence is not admitted for trial.

Both men have pleaded not guilty to the charges and elected trial by provincial court judge.
