The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for robbery and manslaughter and designated as a high-risk accused.

The Board found that the accused continues to represent a significant threat to public safety due to his treatment-refractory schizoaffective disorder and substance use disorders.

The Board ordered the continuation of his detention at a high-secure facility but amended the disposition to remove absences for 'compassionate' and 'legal' purposes to comply with the restrictions on high-risk accused under s. 672.64(3) of the Criminal Code.
