Goodridge to stay in hospital

Daniel Goodridge will stay in a hospital.
 
The Alberta Review Board concluded he was still a threat to public safety after a hearing in December and ruled he was not entitled to an absolute discharge.
 
A six-page report from the hearing noted Goodridge had no community support, like a job, a place to live, or any psychiatric care or any other professional services. The treatment team said that no support could lead to increased stress should he be let out, which could lead to him stopping any treatment he may be under and, eventually, to him becoming violent again.
 
Goodridge will stay in hospital for treatment under several conditions, including maintaining his mental health and not to use alcohol, cannabis, or other non-prescription drugs. He would be permitted passes to be in Edmonton and area, but he would have to be under supervision and such passes would be given out only if his treatment team says it is OK.
 
On November 8, 2018, Goodridge was found not criminally responsible for the stabbing deaths of two people at a Fox Creek work camp in a Grande Prairie court.
 
Judges, doctors, lawyers, and several members Hally Dubois’ family attended the hearing.
 
Dubious, from Red Deer, and David Derksen of La Crete both died in the June 30, 2015 attack.
