The Review Board moves today’s hearing to the Law Courts because of security and space concerns. The courtroom is packed and everyone had to go through security to enter the building. #cbcns

Staff at the East Coast Forensic Hospital are looking to loosen restrictions on Hennigar to give him unescorted passes into the community. He is currently accompanied by staff whenever he leaves the hospital. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 1:56:17 PM
This hearing came 6 months after the last one. A decision was delayed last time because Hennigar had just switched meds and the Board wanted to make sure he is stable on the new medication before agreeing to give him more freedom. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:00:28 PM
Part of the reason for the drug change was that Hennigar’s original medication caused a great deal of weight gain. He is a lot larger than when he was arrested. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:01:48 PM
The unescorted passes would be for up to 4 hours at a time, if the board grants him the extra freedom. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:02:46 PM
Crown now questioning about Hennigar’s medication, pointing out that he’s been reluctant to take his meds in the past. He currently takes a once a day pill. Crown asks about long-term injections. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:04:07 PM
Hennigar took part in a community program on assertiveness, working with 8-10 people, including an escort from the hospital. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:07:21 PM
Hospital staff said Hennigar became anxious on community outing, had to be helped by his staff escort but did not have to return to the hospital. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:08:21 PM
Staff says Hennigar was out at a movie and got a little “paranoid” that someone from the community would see him and recognize him. Doctor says he doesn’t mean paranoid in the clinical sense. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:11:13 PM
Staff says they have no concern about Hennigar and use of illegal substances. He’s tested negative during his time in custody. However staff acknowledge there were substance abuse issues in the past. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:13:16 PM
Staff says before he would get passes to leave the hospital, Hennigar would be tested for 4-6 weeks on passes that would allow him unescorted access to the hospital grounds. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:14:35 PM
Crown asks whether staff is aware of fears and concerns of Hennigar family and members of the community about Hennigar’s potential release. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:15:31 PM
Crown asks whether there could be a notification process so that family would be informed every time Hennigar is allowed to leave the hospital. Staff says that’s possible if the Board orders it. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:16:43 PM
Crown asks whether any release could include restrictions that would keep him away from family members who don’t want to see him. Dr Theriault “It’s unlikely that Codey is going out to Middle Musquodoboit to work.” #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:18:45 PM
Staff says Hennigar is not interested in furthering his education at this point but instead wants to look for employment. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:19:36 PM
Crown asks whether “imminent risk” assessment could be done every time he’s released. Staff says that could be difficult given staffing levels. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:21:55 PM
Staff says difficulty in doing imminent risk assessment every time could prevent Hennigar from getting out. Crown suggests weekly assessments. Staff says that’s possible. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:24:34 PM
Staff says first passes may be for structured activities like work passes before he gets recreational passes allowing him to do things like go for coffee. But staff says coffee runs could also be useful in testing his coping skills. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:27:34 PM
Staff says if Hennigar gets passes, he would probably face weekly drug testing. And if staff noticed anything odd upon his return from an outing, he would be tested immediately. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:30:10 PM
Crown finishes, Board members are now asking questions. 1st question: when did Hennigar last have psychotic episode. Staff says it’s been at least eight months. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:31:34 PM
Board asks whether there is an underlying personality disorder in addition to the paranoid schizophrenia that led to the murders. Doctor says he doesn’t think so. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:33:25 PM
Staff says Hennigar no longer displays anti-authority attitudes or behaviours. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:35:02 PM
Board member questions whether staff shortages at East Coast Forensic Hospital will prevent staff from keeping proper tabs on Hennigar. Staff says no, they would just reduce optional programs to focus on core programs. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:37:02 PM
Staff says any deviation from pre-approved release plan, even a small detour, would mean Hennigar is considered AWOL. He must write out his itinerary in advance. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:41:35 PM
Board asks whether Hennigar would get his medication before he’d be allowed out of the hospital. Answer: yes. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:42:52 PM
Codey Hennigar’s brother Chandler now speaking to the board. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:43:32 PM
Chandler Hennigar says he still doesn’t believe Codey Hennigar is safe to be released. Codeynis staring down, not making eye contact with his brother. Chandler “I urge you to make the right choice.” #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:46:12 PM
Chandler Hennigar “Have you stopped to ask whether it’s right?” He says he believes someone who commits crimes like this should never be released. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/6/2018 2:47:31 PM
Chandler Hennigar “What happens if you’re wrong and I’m right?” He says he wished he’d been there that day because he might have prevented the killings. He said he was able to stop his brother in the past. #cbcns
