The appellant, who was found not criminally responsible for several violent offences, appealed a disposition of the Ontario Review Board ordering that he remain subject to a detention order.
The appellant argued the Board erred by denying his request for a conditional discharge and failing to conduct an individualized assessment of risk.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding the Board's decision was reasonable and supported by evidence that the appellant had limited insight into his mental illness, minimized his offences, and required a managed transition into the community.
