Chando Jackson , 37 , was found not criminally responsible ( NCR ) due to a mental disorder for a 2012 break-in and assault.
A doctor diagnosed him with schizophrenia, and a judge ordered him detained in hospital indefinitely.
Jackson filed an appeal earlier this year asking the court to consider new evidence from a doctor who believes he never had schizophrenia.
The doctor argued Jackson ’s psychosis was a result of intoxication, not a mental illness.
Dr. Roger Brown , a forensic psychiatrist at Alberta Hospital , diagnosed Jackson with alcohol and stimulant use disorders.
Brown said Jackson was genuinely psychotic, but the psychosis was caused by substance use, not mental illness.
Jackson ’s appeal also claims procedural issues with the NCR verdict, arguing the judge failed to apply the correct legal test.
