The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the disposition for an accused found not criminally responsible for uttering threats and criminal harassment.
The accused requested a transfer from a high-security hospital to a less secure facility.
Relying on uncontroverted expert psychiatric evidence, the Board found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety due to high psychopathy, impression management, and risk of decompensation if exposed to substances.
The Board ordered the accused's continued detention at the high-security facility with a minor amendment allowing escorted access to hospital grounds.
