NCR accused granted absolute discharge as treated multiple sclerosis reduced risk of future psychotic episodes.
The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory hearing to review the disposition of an accused found not criminally responsible for second-degree murder and other offences.
The accused's index offences were driven by a psychotic episode caused by undiagnosed multiple sclerosis.
The majority of the Board found that the accused's multiple sclerosis is now well-managed with medication, and the risk of a future psychotic episode is low.
Concluding that the accused no longer poses a significant threat to public safety, the Board granted an absolute discharge.
