FREDERICTON — Alleged Fredericton gunman Matthew Raymond’s claims of temporary insanity have prompted the Crown to seek a psychological assessment to determine if he is able to stand trial. In a court outburst last week, Raymond said he should be “exonerated” immediately because of temporary insanity. Dickson will hear the application next Monday for a psychological assessment that Blunston said will take 60 days. I am not guilty due to at least temporary insanity. Some business owners have described Raymond as becoming reclusive and occasionally unpleasant in the year before the alleged shootings.
