A mental health expert will testify at trial next month that Oregon standoff defendant David Fry suffers from schizotypal personality disorder characterized by paranoia, anxiety and heightened suspicions that are exacerbated by stressful events, his attorney said Tuesday.

Fry's attorney Per C.

It was the shooting and the resulting "echo chamber'' that Finicum was "unjustly murdered'' at the hands of law enforcement that triggered Fry's fear that federal agents were going to come after him, his attorney argued.

It may explain some of his behaviors but it doesn't excuse them.
