Axel Rudakubana, 18, pleaded not guilty to 16 charges, including three counts of murder, following a July stabbing attack on young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. The attack, which killed three girls and injured ten others, incited significant civil unrest fueled by misinformation about the assailant's identity. His trial begins on Jan. 20, 2025, amidst ongoing discussions about the role of social media in public disorder and miscommunication.
