The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for the accused, who was previously found not criminally responsible for various assault and weapons offences.
The accused suffers from schizophrenia and a cannabis use disorder.
The Board accepted the uncontroverted evidence of the treating psychiatrist that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety, particularly due to the risk of psychotic relapse and medication non-compliance in a less supervised setting.
The Board ordered the continuation of a detention disposition with minor amendments to allow for greater travel privileges, and maintained the existing publication ban.
