The Ontario Review Board held a mandatory hearing to review the disposition of the accused, who was previously found unfit to stand trial on charges including pointing a firearm and uttering threats.
The Board determined that the accused remains unfit to stand trial due to a profound intellectual developmental disorder and continues to pose a significant threat to public safety.
Applying the factors under s. 672.54 of the Criminal Code, the Board ordered the accused's continued detention in the high-secure Awenda Program at Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care, finding it to be the least onerous and least restrictive disposition necessary to manage his risk and care needs.
