The accused was previously found not criminally responsible for assault and uttering threats.

At her annual review hearing before the Ontario Review Board, the Board considered whether she continued to pose a significant threat to the safety of the public.

The evidence indicated that she suffers from schizoaffective disorder, lacks insight into her illness, and requires a highly supported environment to manage her medication and risk of violence.

The Board found that she continues to represent a significant threat to public safety and ordered the continuation of her current Detention Order at the forensic hospital.

The Ontario Review Board held a disposition hearing for the accused, who was found not criminally responsible for making false fire alarms and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The accused has diagnoses of schizophrenia, cannabis use disorder, and alcohol abuse disorder.

The Board found that the accused continues to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public due to his history of medication non-compliance and substance abuse leading to breakthrough psychosis.

However, given his current stability on injectable antipsychotic medication, the Board concluded that a Conditional Discharge is the least onerous and least restrictive appropriate disposition.

The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory annual hearing to determine whether the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for sexual assault, continued to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public.

The accused suffers from schizoaffective disorder and cannabis use disorder, and recently experienced psychotic symptoms leading to hospital readmissions after consuming cannabis.

The Board accepted the joint recommendation of the parties, finding that the accused remains a significant threat to public safety.

The Board ordered the continuation of the existing detention order at the secure forensic unit.
