The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for assault.
The Board accepted expert evidence that the accused remains a significant threat to public safety due to schizophrenia and a substance use disorder.
The Board ordered the continuation of a Detention Disposition as the least onerous and least restrictive option, but granted the accused's unopposed motion to transfer to St. Joseph's Healthcare in Hamilton to assist with his rehabilitation.
