The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the accused's conditional discharge following a finding of not criminally responsible for robbery.
The accused, diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder, had an exceptional year of psychiatric stability and abstinence while living in the community.
However, the Board accepted the hospital's recommendation that the accused requires additional time under reduced controls before an absolute discharge is appropriate.
The Board found the accused continues to represent a significant threat to public safety and ordered the continuation of the conditional discharge with amended, less restrictive terms.
