Donnelly says he was consumed by the thought of harming people after being told by God to do so when he was let out of the B.C. Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam to go on a bike ride on the day of the attack.

Donnelly, who has pleaded not guilty, has faced questioning from Crown prosecutor Mark Myhre, who asked if Donnelly understood what would happen depending whether he was found not criminally responsible for the attack.

The suspect told the court that one outcome would see him sent to jail, and another would see him sent back to the hospital.

When Myhre asked him which he'd prefer, Donnelly said he wants to go where "God wants me to go."
