TORONTO - The man who killed 10 people by deliberately driving down pedestrians on a Toronto sidewalk is a mass murderer who happened to have autism spectrum disorder, the prosecution said Friday.
Crown attorney Joe Callaghan said in closing arguments that Alek Minassian's autism spectrum disorder – or ASD – didn't push the man to carry out the attack on April 23, 2018.
Rather, Callaghan argues, Minassian knew what he was doing was wrong.
