The Board accepted the joint recommendation of the parties and the hospital's psychiatric evidence, finding that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.

The Board ordered that the existing Detention Order be continued to ensure adequate supervision and the ability to expeditiously readmit the accused if his mental state decompensates.

The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for aggravated assault and assault.

The accused suffers from schizophrenia and a substance use disorder.

The Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to the safety of the public due to residual psychotic symptoms, a history of medication non-compliance, and a risk of rapid decompensation.

The Board ordered the continuation of the accused's detention order at the hospital, finding it to be the least onerous and least restrictive disposition necessary to manage his risk, despite his recent transition to a community group home.
