The Ontario Review Board held an annual hearing for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for assault and assault with a weapon.
The accused sought a conditional discharge, while the hospital and Crown recommended maintaining the Detention Order with expanded travel privileges and reduced reporting.
The Board concluded that a Detention Order remained necessary to protect the public, given the accused's history of severe violence against family members and the risk of rapid decompensation related to his major depressive disorder.
The Disposition was amended to allow for approved travel and reduced reporting frequency.
