Halloween is a holiday that is based around people getting to dress up and become something or someone else. Sometimes that means dressing up as a character from your favourite movie, show or video game. Sometimes that means taking on and dressing up as an entirely new persona and becoming someone or something that you perhaps wish was closer to the true you. On October 31st, 2020 in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada though a man dressed up in a kimono and took to the streets in a much more sinister way. He would kill two innocent bystanders at random and he would injure five others and would later say that it wasn’t him at all that committed those murders. No, in fact he would blame “bad Carl” for committing the indecencies that were committed on that night. Did this man and his defense team successfully prove that he was not criminally responsible for the things that he did?
