The accused, previously found not criminally responsible for various offences, was subject to an annual review by the Ontario Review Board.
Despite some stability and community support, the accused had two hospital admissions during the reporting year and continued to use substances, including cocaine and cannabis, which correlated with manic episodes.
The Board applied the Winko test and found that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.
A conditional discharge was ordered as the least onerous and restrictive disposition to manage the risk.
