You citing mental illness as an excuse for someone who killed, beheaded and ate another human being doesn't fly, speaks of ignorance to me. It isn't an excuse but a medical reason for what he did what he did. Having voices from God telling Li that McLean was an evil threat that needed to be eliminated, is not normal.

The part I disagree with is the update to the case that bumped this thread.
The fact he is going to potentially be allowed to leave his facility.
That is what spurred this part of the discussion.

His doctors have said Li is on medication and not experiencing any symptoms or hallucinations. Li is considered to have a 0.8 per cent chance of reoffending violently in the next seven years, according to doctors. If he's on a 30 minute escoted pass into the community, how is he a threat to the public.
