I am fine with the mentall insanity plea but have trouble accepting it since he refused treatment a few years ago. This incident was avoidable but proceeded due to his doing. The law needs to be changed to keep these folks off the street if whether they accept or don't accept treatment.

His refusal to accept help or get treatments is part and parcel of being schizophrenic. They are mentally unstable, they don't see themselves as having a problem. You can not reason with those who are not capable of being reasonable.
The law needs to be changed? or the Mental Health Act has to be changed. You are aware that right now, countless families have tried to force their loved ones to get treatment but that is not within their rights?
