The accused was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, assault with a weapon, and uttering a death threat after she and her son attacked their neighbour and police officers.
The Crown subsequently applied for an assessment to determine if the accused was not criminally responsible (NCR).
Based on a psychiatric report, the court found that the accused suffered from a psychotic disorder, likely schizophrenia, and experienced severe delusions at the time of the offences.
The court concluded that her mental illness rendered her incapable of knowing her actions were morally wrong.
The accused was found not criminally responsible on all counts and the matter was referred to the Review Board.
