The appellant, who was found not criminally responsible for assault with a weapon and aggravated assault, appealed the Ontario Review Board's disposition continuing her detention order.
She sought an absolute discharge.
The Court of Appeal found the Board's decision reasonable, noting the appellant's severe and persistent mental illness, history of violence, treatment non-compliance, and substance use.
The Board correctly applied the legal tests to conclude she remained a significant threat to public safety and that a detention order was the least onerous and appropriate disposition.
