US EditionCalgary rejected not criminally responsible defence, finds man guilty of murder
- A Calgary jury found 29-year-old Michael Adenyi guilty of first-degree murder for stabbing Vanessa Ladouceur in 2022 on a downtown street.
- The jury first considered Adenyi's not criminally responsible defence based on schizophrenia before rejecting it and weighing manslaughter and murder charges.
- The court was told that Adenyi trailed Ladouceur for almost two blocks before pushing her into a recessed area and stabbing her multiple times, inflicting six facial wounds that caused fatal bleeding.
- Adenyi reported experiencing hallucinations in which he thought he was attacking lion- or bear-like creatures and stated he felt compelled to defend himself to avoid being killed, while his lawyer maintained that he accepted responsibility for the incident.
- The jury deliberated 12 hours before delivering a Saturday evening verdict, and a sentencing date is set for May 9 with an automatic life sentence and no parole for 25 years.
