A man accused of a 2023 Vancouver Starbucks stabbing claims he found the murder weapon in an alley, viewing it as a divine sign for self-protection. Inderdeep Singh Gosal, 34, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in Paul Schmidt's death. He testified he was off antipsychotic medication and felt threatened before the incident. Gosal's defense argues he lacked the mental capacity to intend murder, seeking a manslaughter conviction instead. He has since been medicated and feels improved.
