The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for the accused, who was previously found unfit to stand trial on charges including attempt murder and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.
The accused suffers from a major neurocognitive disorder and aphasia following a stroke, rendering him unable to meaningfully participate in a trial.
Based on the uncontroverted expert evidence of his attending psychiatrist and the joint position of the parties, the Board found that the accused remains unfit and continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.
The Board ordered that the accused remain subject to a conditional discharge.
