Absolute discharge granted to NCR accused whose risk was mitigated by long-term care and declining health.

The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for an accused previously found not criminally responsible for sexual assault and an indecent act.

The hospital and the Attorney General supported an absolute discharge.

Relying on uncontroverted psychiatric evidence, the Board found that the accused's risk to public safety was well-managed by his placement in a long-term care facility, a Community Treatment Order, and his declining physical health.

Concluding that the accused no longer posed a significant threat to the safety of the public, the Board ordered an absolute discharge.

Detention order continued for NCR accused due to ongoing risk of rapid decompensation and relapse.

The Ontario Review Board conducted a mandatory annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for assault with a weapon and other offences.

The accused, diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and Substance Use Disorder, had transitioned to living in the community but remained vulnerable to relapse due to isolation and lack of structured activities.

The Board accepted the hospital's evidence that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety and that a detention order remains necessary to facilitate rapid readmission if he decompensates.

The detention disposition was continued, with an expansion of community passes to the Province of Ontario.

Accused found fit to stand trial and ordered returned to court with a Keep Fit Order.

The accused was previously found unfit to stand trial on charges including assaulting a peace officer and mischief.

At her initial hearing before the Ontario Review Board, evidence from her treating physician indicated she had made significant progress, understood the court process, and could meaningfully instruct counsel.

The Board accepted the uncontradicted medical evidence and the agreement of all parties, finding the accused fit to stand trial.

The Board ordered her returned to court and issued a Keep Fit Order in the interim.

Detention Order imposed for NCR accused; abstinence clause rejected due to lack of substance use evidence.

The accused was found not criminally responsible for weapons offences and was detained at a psychiatric hospital.

At the initial disposition hearing, the Ontario Review Board found that the accused, who suffers from schizophrenia and has a history of medication non-compliance, continues to represent a significant threat to public safety.

The Board ordered a Detention Order as the least onerous and restrictive disposition, but rejected a joint submission to include an abstinence clause, finding no evidence of prior substance use.
