Justice Anne Molloy will give her verdict on March 3.

The defence lawyer for the man who killed 10 people by deliberately driving a van down a crowded Toronto sidewalk argues his client was incapable of rational choice.

Closing arguments from prosecution and defence are expected to start Thursday.

Dr. Scott Woodside says Alek Minassian was able to push out thoughts of his victims like a sexual predator pushing out the harms he would cause to a child.

Dr. Scott Woodside says Alek Minassian's desire to gain notoriety demonstrates that he knew the Toronto van attack would be viewed by the public as a terrible act.

Testifying for the prosecution, Dr. Scott Woodside, a forensic psychiatrist at Toronto's CAMH, said Minassian told him he thought he would fail at his upcoming job.

Dr. Percy Wright says Alek Minassian told him more than a year after the 2018 attack that he was satisfied with his "kill count" but had wanted to take more lives.

Dr. Percy Wright has painted a starkly different picture of Alek Minassian than an American psychiatrist who testified for the defence.

"I'd probably say I was feeling very isolated and bitter at society and I decided to take out my anger on random people."

"I know what I did was morally wrong," Alek Minassian told Dr. Alexander Westphal, a U.S. based psychiatrist retained by the defence.
