I haven't read the thread and the link in the OP is dead so I might be a bit behind here, but the problem for me is that the non compliance rates for medications for schizophrenics is extremely high and this guy isn't just a schizophrenic, he's proven to be a extremely dangerous one.
Do I believe with proper medication his symptoms can be controlled and he's not a danger? Possibly.
Do I believe without strict supervision he will follow his medication protocol as perscribed? Not a chance in hell.
From my perspective he's going to need someone checking in on him every day for the rest of his life to make sure he's taking his meds and just as importantly, that they're still effective.
