Bisesar was originally slated to stand trial in January 2018, but the Crown requested she receive a fitness assessment. The jury at the fitness hearing found Bisesar unfit to stand trial after a short deliberation on Tuesday. At that point, a new hearing will be scheduled to determine if Bisesar’s treatment has resulted in her being fit to stand trial, her defence lawyer Robert Karrass said. “If she is not fit then we would ask for an additional treatment order or ‘keep fit’ order to make sure she is getting her treatment.”Biseasar listened quietly to McMahon as he issued her treatment order. “These folks (on the jury) decided, rightly or wrongly, that you are not fit right now to proceed to trial,” McMahon said.
