The appellant was found not criminally responsible (NCR) for aggravated assault after stabbing a complainant.
She appealed the NCR verdict, arguing she received ineffective assistance of counsel because she was not informed that an NCR finding could result in indefinite detention, and alternatively sought to withdraw her consent to the NCR finding.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no prejudice to support the ineffective assistance claim and concluding that the appellant understood the implications of the NCR verdict when she consented to it.
