        6. What a not criminally responsible ruling means for Richard Kachkar

          OTTAWA – He killed a Toronto police officer with a snowplow two years ago, but jurors in a Toronto court found Richard Kachkar not criminally responsible on Wednesday.

          Sgt. Ryan Russell, 35, was killed on Jan. 12, while on duty when he was hit by a stolen plow driven by Kachkar, who had been on a two-hour rampage.

          Although the defence is rarely used, the year-old is the latest person to be declared not criminally responsible, or NCR, in a high-profile case.

          The ruling means the person who committed a crime lacked the ability to appreciate what they did or know it was wrong due to a mental disorder at the time.

          Among the dozens of witnesses heard during the trial were three forensic psychiatrists who concluded Kachkar was in a psychotic state when he killed Russell.

          None of them were able to categorize his mental illness.
