The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for mischief and animal cruelty.

The accused, diagnosed with schizophrenia, had a history of non-compliance with medication and violence towards animals.

The Board accepted the joint recommendation of the parties, finding that the accused continues to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public.

The Board ordered a continuation of the Detention Order with expanded privileges, including the possibility of community living in approved accommodation, noting the accused's recent progress and medication adherence while in the hospital.
