The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for break and enter and mischief.

The accused remains under a detention order at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

All parties agreed that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.

The Board ordered that the current disposition be maintained with minor amendments, including extending the geographic boundary for community living to the Greater Toronto Area and setting a 200-kilometre radius for indirect privilege passes.

The Ontario Review Board conducted a mandatory annual review of the accused's disposition.

The accused, who was found not criminally responsible for assault, has diagnoses of treatment-resistant schizophrenia and substance use disorder.

Relying on uncontroverted expert evidence, the Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety due to risks of substance relapse, housing instability, and medication non-adherence.

The Board ordered the continuation of the detention disposition as the necessary and appropriate measure to manage the accused's risk while supporting his reintegration.

The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for aggravated assault.

The accused has diagnoses of schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder.

All parties jointly submitted that the accused continues to represent a significant threat to public safety and that the current Detention Order should be continued.

The Board accepted the joint submission, finding that the accused's history of violence linked to psychotic decompensation, exacerbated by substance use, required the structure and oversight of a hospital setting.

The Detention Disposition was continued.
