From the Toronto Star:

from the article above:
Brodsky explains that the Crown’s expert prison psychiatrist, Dr. Duncan Scott, has told him and the Crown “that Tony Rosato is certifiable.” Scott’s diagnosis, says Brodsky, is a mental illness called Capgras syndrome. Named for its discoverer, French psychiatrist Jean Marie Joseph Capgras, the syndrome is characterized by the delusion that a person or people have been replaced by doubles or impostors. The rare condition is most commonly associated with schizophrenia, but according to Dr. Graham Glancy, a forensic psychiatrist with Metro West Detention Centre and Maplehurst Correctional Complex, it can also be caused by metabolic diseases, delirium, brain injury or drugs such as cocaine.
