The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for assault with a weapon and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
The accused, diagnosed with schizophrenia, had been stable, compliant with medication, and abstinent from substances over the past year.
The Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety due to his history of non-adherence to treatment and risk factors.
The Board ordered the maintenance of the detention order with expanded privileges, including international travel and moderate alcohol consumption, to facilitate his transition to independent living.
