Ontario Review Board grants absolute discharge to 90-year-old accused whose schizophrenia is stable.

The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory annual review hearing for the 90-year-old accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for harassment and assault.

The accused's treating psychiatrist testified that his schizophrenia is stable, he is compliant with medication, and his residual delusions do not interfere with his daily life.

All parties, including the hospital and the Attorney General, jointly recommended an absolute discharge.

Applying the Winko test, the Board found that the accused no longer poses a significant threat to public safety and ordered an absolute discharge.
