The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the accused's disposition following a finding of not criminally responsible for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
The accused, diagnosed with schizophrenia, had been residing in the community without incident, maintaining medication compliance, and demonstrating good insight into his illness.
The treatment team, supported by all parties, recommended an absolute discharge.
Applying the test from Winko, the Board found the accused no longer posed a significant threat to public safety and granted an absolute discharge.
