The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review hearing for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for firearms and obstruction offences.
The hospital, the Attorney General, and the accused jointly submitted that the accused no longer posed a significant threat to public safety.
The Board accepted the uncontested evidence that the accused was living a pro-social lifestyle, managing his bipolar disorder effectively, and abstaining from substances.
Finding no evidence of a significant threat, the Board granted an absolute discharge pursuant to s. 672.54 of the Criminal Code.
