The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the disposition for an accused found permanently unfit to stand trial on charges of assault and second-degree murder.
The accused suffers from Korsakoff Syndrome and requires one-to-one supervision to manage aggressive behaviours.
The Board accepted the joint submission of the parties and the medical evidence, finding that the accused remains permanently unfit to stand trial and continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.
The Board ordered the continuation of the existing Detention Order at the hospital as the least onerous and least restrictive disposition.
