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.

If I'm driving by a park and suffer a stroke that causes me to slump forward, push on the gas, and plow through a group of kids, should I be locked up forever (assuming I survive) to appease the victims' parents? Plowing a car through a park and running over kids is a pretty reprehensible act, so lets ignore the fact that a medical even left me helpless to prevent it?
