Matthew de Grood wore a white shirt, black blazer and glasses as he listened to proceedings in a Calgary courtroom on the first day of his trial.

A lawyer for an Alberta man found not criminally responsible for killing five young people at a Calgary house party is asking the province's review board to release him on an absolute discharge.·A psychiatrist in charge of treating Matthew de Grood, depicted in this courtroom sketch, says his risk of reoffending is low.

His psychiatrist says de Grood was not required to check in with group home staff while on the passes, and there were no problems. Court determined he had been living with undiagnosed schizophrenia at the time and he has since been under psychiatric care.
