Prosecutors say a woman accused of stabbing a stranger and piercing her heart while she was shopping in Toronto two weeks before Christmas in 2015 should not be held criminally responsible.
They have filed an application with Ontario Superior Court to begin the process of trying to have Rohinie Bisesar committed to a psychiatric facility.
“There are reasonable grounds to doubt that (Bisesar) is criminally responsible for the murder on account of mental disorder,” the Crown wrote in the application to have her mental health assessed.
Justice John McMahon has said he also plans to raise the issue of a psychiatric assessment in his own motion after he received two letters from the alleged murderer.
Current charge is a distraction, I am innocent…. I have no medical disorder as spun in the media
It’s a move usually made by the defence, but Bisesar has said she intends to fight any attempt to have her declared mentally ill.
She has already fired two lawyers appointed to her case and says she may represent herself if she cannot find a lawyer who considers her trial a matter of “national security.”
A “decision won’t be made until you have an opportunity to be heard,” McMahon told Bisesar on March 1, but he suggested she hire a new lawyer and reconsider her position before her next court date, on March 24.
Bisesar, 42, has been found fit to stand trial for the first-degree murder of 28-year-old newlywed Rosemarie Junor. However, the Crown’s application says she has a history of mental illness. She was hospitalized in 2014 and has missed three court appearances since her arrest because she was taken to the hospital “apparently unwell.”
Bisesar has repeatedly claimed she is an innocent victim caught up in a vast conspiracy to cover up mind control experiments. She said a microchip implanted in her directed her the day Junor was stabbed in a Shoppers Drug Mart in the underground PATH network near her office on Dec. 11, 2015.
“I am the person who has gone through the interaction/control I mention so I am the best to provide input on what is needed to solve the case, which really is to find the true criminal(s),” she wrote to the judge on Feb. 2.
The Crown’s application describes some of the theories Bisesar has shared with the court. On Jan. 30 she claimed that the U.S. election result was connected to her case, and on Feb. 8 she said “the Crown was present on the day of the stabbing.”
Bisesar has spent the last 15 months at the Vanier Centre for Women in Milton, Ont., where she has written at least four letters since last October, and hundreds of pages of notes expounding on her theory that someone is using a microchip or other foreign object implanted in her body to control her mind and actions. The letters are included in the Crown’s application.

She has opted not to have a preliminary hearing, yet has had more than 40 court dates since her arrest as her case inches toward a Jan. 18, 2018 trial date.
The letters reveal that she has been in contact with like-minded individuals from the Organization of Victims of Psychotronic (Mind Control) Weapons, a small group that believes governments are experimenting with mind control on their citizens.
“Current charge is a distraction, I am innocent,” she wrote in an Oct. 15, 2016 letter to the Supreme Court. “I have no medical disorder as spun in the media.”
The letters also provide insight into how she has tried to run her case from her jail cell and why she says she fired her lawyer, David Connolly, on Feb. 8.
“David has neglected me, lied many times, for sure misrepresented me as have only spoke for a total of approximately 40 minutes since May 2016 and never went through my notes. He has acted as a criminal. He continues to not include me in the case process. Why I see many mistakes and, lies, and misrepresentations he has done now,” she wrote to the judge on Feb. 2. “I do no trust or feel safe that justice is being sought, rather a cover-up/silencing and moving towards sentencing for an innocent person while the real criminal(s) are free.”
A letter sent to the Financial Services Commission of Ontario describes her case as “fundamentally about spying and stealing from the Toronto financial district,” and asks for help finding a new lawyer or experts in “Biological Warfare.”
She asks for someone to visit her in jail because her phone calls are being monitored and her mail is being read, and accuses prison staff of restricting her communications.
“I think whoever is behind this knows how serious of a crime they committed/are committing, including what I am charged with (I am innocent), and are trying their best to cover it up (including trying to say I have a mental disorder giving me drugs and then no one will try to find the real reasons of the crime and their crimes and find who they are),” Bisesar wrote in an Oct. 11, 2016 letter addressed to the commission.
“I need your help and support to push to find who is behind this…. Press to see me if people try to keep you away.”

She wrote that an implant allows someone to see and hear everything that she is doing and it even made her “look up at” former Ontario premier Bob Rae in a Metro grocery story on Front Street at an unspecified time. She suggested that she was targeted because she had access to “private deals” and “confidential meetings” and computer servers. Bisesar graduated with an MBA from York University in 2007 but struggled to launch a career in Toronto’s financial district.
A second letter to McMahon describes how she has tried and failed to discuss her case with Toronto Police. This too, is part of the coverup, she writes.
“All professionals and uniformed individuals who did not do their jobs professionally, properly, accountable, responsibly should be charged with treason and sentenced to the maximum. I would like military involved,” she wrote.
During past court appearances, Bisesar has grown emotional as she urged the court to take her theories seriously, but on March 1 she appeared more poised as she asked the judge for time to “internalize what was said” by a number of lawyers she has interviewed over the past few weeks from jail.
Bisesar told the court that she was still considering representing herself, and she wanted to “make the right choice.”
She will notify the court of her decision on March 24.
