The accused was found not criminally responsible for second-degree murder and breaking and entering.
At his initial disposition hearing before the Ontario Review Board, the hospital and the accused sought a detention order with privileges including indirectly supervised passes into the community.
The Attorney General opposed the indirectly supervised passes.
The Board ordered a detention order but denied the indirectly supervised community passes, finding them premature given the accused's limited insight into his psychotic symptoms, the high risk of relapse, and the short period of observation at the hospital.
