The accused was charged with first-degree murder after shooting and killing the victim outside Scotiabank Arena.
The accused admitted to the shooting but raised the defence of not criminally responsible (NCR) on account of mental disorder, claiming he believed the victim was the Devil and that he was on a mission to save the world.
The court found that while the accused had a mental disorder, he exaggerated and fabricated symptoms.
Relying on the accused's organized conduct before, during, and after the offence, the court concluded he was capable of knowing his actions were morally wrong.
The NCR defence was rejected, and the accused was found guilty of first-degree murder.
