Yeah, but I hate to sound callous, but that one is a little different, the guy has/had real mental illness and it was one of the more severe cases out there. With him I can buy the not responsible for his actions.
At some point he does deserve a chance to rejoin society, depending on his continued use of the drugs prescribed to him and the treatment offered to him. I'm ok with him getting some day parole as long as he gets treatment and eventually being released to society under monitoring.
From what I understand he is genuinely remorseful for what he did to his victim.
The problem with the whole scenario is that its incredibly hurtful right now to the victims family and they haven't been treated well by the system so it feels like a slap in the face to them.
With DT he's never shown remorse for killing that family. He was drunk, not mentally ill and he showed no concern for the victims on that horrible night.
And he continued to show 0 remorse in jail from what I've read and heard.
In the Greyhound bus killing there were in my mind two victims, the poor kid who was murdered and a guy with really serious mental illnesses.
In the drunk driving one there were 5 victims and not one of them was the idiot who chose to drive drunk.
