K.M. Hand

The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory annual review hearing for the accused, who was found not criminally responsible for assault with a weapon and assaulting a peace officer.

The accused has been living in a transitional rehabilitative housing program and has remained stable, though he continues to struggle with financial difficulties, gambling, and a history of substance abuse.

The Board accepted the joint recommendation of all parties and the hospital that the accused remains a significant threat to public safety.

The Board ordered the continuation of the present disposition, maintaining his detention at the hospital with privileges to live in approved community accommodation.
