Question

what happens to the accused​

Answer 1

Answer:

The trial had terminated due to the death of the accused. The death of an accused before the end of a criminal trial would ordinarily abate the trial. The issue of the accused's guilt, and the need to punish the accused and protect the public, becomes academic upon the death of an accused.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hold a disposition hearing and issue an initial disposition order (this means that the court decides what is going to happen to the accused) and the Review Board would then have 90 days from the time of the verdict to hold a hearing; or

Refer the case to the Review Board, established under the Criminal Code, for disposition. The Review Board must make an initial disposition within 45 days of the verdict unless the Court extends the time up to a period of 90 days.
