An Ontario woman, Michelle Campbell, who was found not criminally responsible for the second-degree murder of her mother, has purchased a car without notifying her treatment team. Campbell, 52, was deemed not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder on May 9, 2017. The tragic incident occurred on March 22, 2016, in a parking lot in Toronto's Pelmo Park. Campbell drove her vehicle at high speed towards her mother, Eleanor Campbell, 65, who was using a walker. Surveillance footage showed Campbell accelerating and reversing over her mother multiple times before leaving the scene. Eleanor was pronounced dead at the location. During a recent hearing at the Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, Campbell's psychiatrist expressed concerns about her recent behavior, including contacting her ex-husband, which violated a court order. This has led to new criminal charges against her. The psychiatrist highlighted a significant lapse in judgment when Campbell bought a car without consulting her treatment team. The Ontario Review Board noted that the psychiatrist referred to the vehicle as "the murder weapon, so to speak," emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. Although Campbell had been renting cars and was allowed to drive under certain conditions, her purchase of a car was unexpected and concerning for her treatment team. Campbell's psychiatrist reported that her insight into the incident remains limited. While she acknowledges her mental health issues, she still believes her mother shares some responsibility for the tragedy. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Campbell is required to submit an itinerary for her driving, which must be approved by the hospital. The psychiatrist is closely monitoring Campbell's mental state and driving habits. He noted that while she is a devoutly religious person, some aspects of her beliefs may border on illness. The treatment team remains worried that without adequate support, Campbell's mental health could deteriorate, potentially leading to another offense. The Ontario Review Board has maintained Campbell's conditional discharge, stating she poses a significant threat to public safety. The board highlighted her history of psychotic symptoms and non-compliance with medication as ongoing concerns. Despite these challenges, Campbell is compliant with her medication regimen and attends regular appointments with her psychiatrist. Her medication has recently been increased due to stress from her legal issues. Campbell lives in a subsidized apartment in the Durham Region and receives support from the Canadian Mental Health Association. She meets weekly with their housing team and attends religious services, where she has formed friendships. The board will continue to monitor Campbell's progress and work with her to improve her insight and mental health over the coming year.
