The North Battleford Provincial Court heard that the accused is diagnosed as schizophrenic and is currently at the Saskatchewan Hospital forensic unit in North Battleford. Crown Prosecutor Oryn Holm and legal aide lawyer Cameron Schmunk entered a joint submission for sentencing of the accused on April 19. The Crown told the court that the accused spat on a care aide at the Battlefords Union Hospital in November 2020. The spit landed on the care aide who touched it with a bare palm. The aide knew the accused was HIV positive so immediately went through contamination protocols. He was also charged with a break and enter a month prior of his ex-girlfriend’s house in North Battleford where he kicked down the door.
