Nova Scotia's Criminal Code Review Board held its annual review Tuesday in the case of Codey Hennigar, 34. The treatment team at the province's only secure psychiatric facility has been recommending a gradual increase in freedoms for Hennigar, as part of their plan to gradually reintroduce him into the community. On Tuesday, the treatment team recommended that he be given a conditional discharge, which would have accelerated his release. The first step suggested by the treatment team would see him reside in one of the cottages on the grounds of the hospital. Forensic psychiatrist Scott Theriault, who led Hennigar's treatment team, said the hospital is even stepping up security at the cottages by placing security cameras inside the buildings.
