The accused was found not criminally responsible for aggravated assault and appeared before the Ontario Review Board for an initial disposition.
The Board found that the accused, who suffers from schizoaffective disorder and has a history of medication non-adherence and cannabis use, remains a significant threat to public safety.
Relying on uncontroverted psychiatric evidence, the Board concluded that a Conditional Discharge was inappropriate due to the accused's fragile stability and need for supervised accommodation.
The Board ordered a Detention Order with a transfer to CAMH and residual authority at Southwest.
