A man charged after the fatal shootings of two police officers and two civilians at a Fredericton apartment complex doesn't believe he requires a psychiatric assessment requested by the Crown. Blunston cited Raymond's outburst during a previous court appearance and asked that an expert be brought in from Ontario to do the assessment. Last week, Raymond told the court from the prisoner's box that he had enough evidence to be exonerated and is not guilty by reason of temporary insanity. Judge Julian Dickson will hear arguments next Monday on the request for the psychiatric assessment. Lawyer Nathan Gorham didn’t stand, lawyer seen here on right, Spencer MacInnes spoke instead.
