Accused found fit to stand trial; request for hospital detention pending return to court denied.

The Ontario Review Board held a hearing to determine whether the accused, who had previously been found unfit to stand trial on assault charges, remained unfit.

Based on the uncontradicted evidence of his treating psychiatrist, the Board found that the accused's mental health had significantly improved and he was now fit to stand trial.

The Board directed his return to court and declined to make an order under section 672.49 of the Criminal Code to detain him in the hospital pending his return, finding no reasonable grounds to believe he would become unfit in a correctional facility.

Detention disposition continued for NCR accused who remains a significant threat pending long-term care placement.

The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for arson-related offences.

The accused, diagnosed with schizophrenia and a neurocognitive disorder, remained stable in a hospital setting but continued to experience symptoms and lacked insight.

The treatment team opined that she required a 24/7 supervised setting, such as a long-term care facility, but none was currently available.

The Board found that the accused continued to represent a significant threat to public safety and ordered the continuation of her detention disposition without change, while noting concerns about bureaucratic delays in securing a long-term care placement.
