An appeal under Part XX.1 of the Criminal Code from a disposition of the Ontario Review Board dated June 29, 2017.
The appellant, found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder for theft, challenged the Board's decision to continue his detention with specified community privileges.
The appellant conceded he remained a significant risk to the community but sought 72-hour passes rather than the 48-hour passes recommended by the Hospital.
The Board found the appellant remained a significant threat and imposed a detention order with the Hospital's recommended privileges.
The appellant appealed, arguing the Board misapprehended evidence regarding his diagnosis and his insight into his illness.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the Board's reasoning or findings.
