Not criminally responsible defence used in Ottawa murder case
The April 1995 Ottawa murder by Arthur Cuenco exposed section 16 of the Criminal Code as a tool for not criminally responsible verdicts. The August 1995 ruling allowed Cuenco to avoid a jail term and return to a supervised setting, while critics warn about gaps in mental health care and risk management for others found not criminally responsible.
