Mosque shooter couldn’t invoke NCR defence: Psychiatrist
A forensic psychiatrist hired by Alexandre Bissonnette’s lawyers says he didn’t think they could successfully mount a defence of not criminally responsible for their client.Sylvain Faucher met with Bissonnette twice in 2017 to determine whether such a defence would be possible. He concluded it wouldn’t be because the man who killed six worshippers in a Quebec City mosque in January of that year understood his acts and was capable of knowing if they were good or bad.
