The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory annual review hearing for an accused found not criminally responsible for aggravated assault.
The accused has diagnoses of schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder.
All parties jointly submitted that the accused continues to represent a significant threat to public safety and that the current Detention Order should be continued.
The Board accepted the joint submission, finding that the accused's history of violence linked to psychotic decompensation, exacerbated by substance use, required the structure and oversight of a hospital setting.
The Detention Disposition was continued.
