The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
The accused had been living in a semi-supported environment, remained abstinent from substances, and demonstrated improved insight into his mental illness.
The Board accepted the joint position of the parties, finding that while the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety, his risk can be appropriately managed in the community.
The Board ordered a conditional discharge with conditions including treatment adherence and regular reporting.
