The Ontario Review Board held an initial hearing for the accused, who was found not criminally responsible for assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

The Board found that the accused continues to represent a significant threat to the safety of the public due to her major mental illness, history of rapid decompensation, and need for ongoing monitoring and medication adjustment.

A detention disposition was ordered with conditions, including a 100 km radius restriction to balance the need for hospital proximity with family contact.

The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for various offences including assault and uttering threats.

The accused's attending psychiatrist testified that the accused had maintained sobriety, completed addictions programming, and demonstrated insight into his schizoaffective disorder.

The hospital and the Attorney-General jointly submitted that the accused no longer posed a significant threat to public safety.

The Board accepted the joint submission and granted the accused an absolute discharge.
