The Ontario Review Board conducted a mandatory annual review of the disposition for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for assault with a weapon and forcible confinement.

The accused, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, had recently exhibited aggressive behaviour, persistent persecutory delusions, and medication non-compliance.

The Board accepted the psychiatric evidence that the accused's stability remains fragile and heavily reliant on close supervision.

The Board concluded that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety and ordered that his detention at the high secure provincial forensic program remain in place without transfer to a less secure facility.
