The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory hearing to review the disposition of the accused, who was previously found unfit to stand trial on weapons and drug charges.

The hospital and the Attorney-General submitted that the accused remains unfit and poses a significant threat to public safety.

The Board accepted the psychiatric evidence that the accused's schizophrenia, characterized by persecutory delusions about the justice system, and his cognitive deficits prevent him from meaningfully instructing counsel or understanding the court process.

The Board concluded the accused remains unfit to stand trial and ordered his continued detention at the hospital with no change to his privileges.
