“He appeared to be calm and composed,” said Dr. Faisal Rahman, a senior psychiatrist at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital in Antigonish, upon seeing the video. As well, Rahman said Desmond revealed he had struck a table and startled his daughter, but he denied abusing his spouse. But it was clear from the video that Desmond’s outward disposition had not changed by the time he reached the sporting goods shop. Miller also noted that Rahman wanted to speak to Desmond’s wife that night, but there was nothing he could do when Desmond said he didn’t want that to happen. “In his case, according to my assessment, the safety aspect did not trump his personal health information (rights),” he said.
