The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for aggravated assault.
The accused, diagnosed with treatment-resistant schizophrenia, continues to experience persistent psychotic symptoms and refuses clozapine or electroconvulsive therapy.
The Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.
Applying the least onerous and least restrictive principle, the Board concluded that continued detention in the high secure forensic program at Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care remains the necessary and appropriate disposition.
