The accused, previously found not criminally responsible for various weapons offences, was conditionally discharged but subsequently readmitted to the hospital on two occasions due to substance use and psychiatric decompensation.
The Ontario Review Board convened a hearing under s. 672.81(2.1) of the Criminal Code to review the resulting restrictions of liberty.
Accepting the joint submission of the parties and the unchallenged medical evidence, the Board found that both readmissions were necessary and appropriate to manage the accused's risk to public safety.
