The appellant, previously found not criminally responsible for setting a bus on fire, appealed an Ontario Review Board disposition imposing a detention order with community living.
He argued that a conditional discharge was the least onerous and least restrictive disposition.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the Board reasonably concluded the appellant continued to pose a significant threat to public safety due to his schizophrenia and substance use disorder, and that a detention order was necessary to manage his risk.
