Counsel: Andrea Urquhart and Kirsten Lancee
Offence: Two counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault.
Result: Not Criminally Responsible
The Accused was charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault. The Defence argued that the Court should find the Accused not criminally responsible as a result of a mental disorder. Specifically it was argued that he was suffering from a mental illness at the time of the attack that made it impossible to form the requisite intent. In July 2021 Justice Hall found the Accused not criminally responsible and directed that he appear before the Alberta Review Board for further assessment.
