Man who stabbed Kelowna Mountie found criminally responsible
- Richard McCrae was found criminally responsible for the 2022 unprovoked stabbing of a police officer in Kelowna, but was not guilty of attempted murder, according to a ruling from Justice Steven Wilson.
- The Crown confirmed that McCrae had a mental disorder during the incident, including auditory hallucinations and schizophrenia, but maintained he wasn't deprived of the knowledge that his actions were wrong.
- Justice Steven Wilson noted that McCrae's actions showed intent to protect a woman in a tent, which contributed to his conviction on charges including aggravated assault, attempt to disarm a police officer, and resisting arrest.
- McCrae's sentencing date is set for September 29, with his case highlighted by expert opinions from forensic psychiatrists regarding his mental state at the time of the assault.
