The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the disposition for an accused found not criminally responsible for second-degree murder.
The accused sought to amend his detention order to remove the requirement for supervised accommodation and to permit the use of cannabis.
Relying on uncontroverted expert psychiatric evidence, the Board found that the accused's substance-induced psychosis and borderline personality disorder require strict monitoring.
The Board concluded that the accused remains a significant threat to public safety and ordered the continuation of the detention order with a new condition prohibiting contact with the victim's family.
