Legal arguments heard in fitness hearing for Vancouver festival attack suspect

A mental fitness hearing for Kai Ji Lo was held regarding 11 counts of second-degree murder, but no decision was made on his fitness for trial.
Lo's lawyer argued he was unfit to stand trial, while the Crown argued for his fitness, as defined under the Criminal Code of Canada concerning mental disorder.
The judge will determine Lo's fitness to stand trial and the status of a publication ban at a future hearing, with the date still to be announced.
Lo had previous mental health interactions with police, but according to Vancouver police, these did not indicate a need for intervention prior to the incident.
