The accused was found unfit to stand trial on charges of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and failing to stop at an accident.
The Ontario Review Board held an initial disposition hearing.
Based on psychiatric evidence, the Board found the accused suffers from a major neurocognitive disorder, rendering him permanently unfit to stand trial.
The Board ordered a Conditional Discharge, requiring the accused to reside at a long-term care facility, and declined to impose abstain or submit clauses regarding alcohol and drugs, finding them unnecessary and overly onerous given his cognitive impairment and historical substance use.
