The Ontario Review Board held a hearing to review the disposition of the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for a terrorism hoax.
The hospital and the Attorney General argued that the accused continued to pose a significant threat to public safety and sought a continuation of his detention order.
The Board reviewed the evidence, including the accused's lack of recent violent history and his successful integration into the community over several years.
The Board concluded that the evidence of a significant threat was speculative and did not meet the legal threshold.
Consequently, the accused was granted an absolute discharge.
