Katherine Quinn returned to B.C. Supreme Court Tuesday to begin hearings for her second trial in the 2005 murder of Matthew Martins.
Matthew was viciously beaten to death at a SkyTrain station in July 2005.
Quinn and her boyfriend Robert Forslund were both sentenced to life in prison for the killing -- Forslund for carrying out the attack and Quinn for ordering it.
She allegedly told him, "If you love me, you'll kill him."
Last summer, The B.C. Court of Appeal decided there wasn't enough evidence to convict Quinn, and ordered a new trial.
She had nothing to say as she arrived at court in New Westminster Tuesday.
Inside the courtroom, she was chastised by sheriffs for wearing sunglasses and chewing gum.
That's a major part of the challenge for Matthew's family -- once again having to sit in the same room as Quinn.
Despite being convicted in her first trial, she's now out on bail and free to come and go as she pleases.
"It's incredibly frustrating for us to know that she's out and able to see her family and be with her family when we'll never have that opportunity again," Matthew's mother Sandra Martins told CTV News.
Matthew's father David Toner said it was difficult for the family to return to court this week.
"We have to go through the whole thing and re-live it all," he said.
While the trial was supposed to begin Tuesday, it was pushed back to Thursday. It was yet another delay for a grieving family, but one they were willing to deal with.
"Nothing will ever bring our son back to us. Nothing will bring him back to us, but I truly just need to know that he can rest in peace, that we will see some type of justice for our child," Martins said.
