Since there continues to be a risk of serious physical harm to the public, based on evidence, I'm going to guess that De Grood does not always take his medication. There must be instances since his arrest where he has gone off the rails again, and experienced severe delusions.
"De Grood asked the Court of Appeal of Alberta to overturn the board's recent ruling that he still poses a significant threat to the public and should remain detained.
Three Appeal Court judges say the board made no errors in its decision and declined to change the conditions of his supervision.
"The [Criminal Code Review] Board made a positive finding there was a risk of serious physical harm to the public, and that finding was based on the evidence," the judges wrote in a decision released Friday.
"An appeal court ... should not be too quick to overturn the board's expert opinion about how that risk is to be managed. It is not for this court to micromanage conditions and privileges."
De Grood is living in a supervised group home in Calgary."
