The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review for a young person found unfit to stand trial on charges including assault with a weapon.
The parties jointly submitted that the accused was permanently unfit and required a Detention Order at CAMH.
The Board found that the accused remains unfit to stand trial and poses a significant threat to public safety, necessitating a Detention Order.
However, the Board rejected the joint submission that the accused is permanently unfit, finding that a full fitness assessment and tailored fitness education program had not been adequately explored given his learning disabilities and recent improvements on new medication.
