I understand what your saying. But I guess I am looking at it from the family's point of view. If someone killed a member of my family in the manner he did, then I found out that he was able to leave his detention centre on visits, I would be livid. Most of the comments in this thread seem to tailor towards how the guy wasn't in the right frame of mind, how he is cursed with a disease that causes him to perform actions that wouldn't be done my ''normal'' people. If I'm the victim's family, that doesn't mean anything to me. This guy killed a family member and now how is able to walk out on the streets because he wasn't at fault for his actions.
Maybe I am heartless in thinking that he should be locked away for the rest of his life. Or maybe it's revenge I want. If I was a family member I know I certainly would. Either way I am of the opinion that he should not ever be let out ever again, regardless of if he is at fault mentally for what he did. If he had killed 20 people and the same verdict was reached, does that make it right that he should be allowed to leave? It's honestly a tough debate to be a part of. I understand how it's not his fault, he did something no rational person would do. But I'm looking at it from the victim's perspective and I am of the opinion that he should never be released.
