I am in absolutely no position to make a judgement concerning Li's ability to leave the institution unescorted. I lack expertise in the field of mental health, and I have had no involvement in his case in any capacity whatsoever.
Just like you.
The difference between you and me, apparently, is that I defer judgement to those people who actually do have the relevant knowledge and professional experience. The team of mental health experts treating Li have indicated that he is progressing as a patient and has reached the point where he can have a small amount of additional freedom. The prosecutor reviewing the case, whose job it is to ensure that Li does not pose a danger to the public, agrees with their assessment. How can you possibly claim to know better than them? You're no more qualified to comment on whether or not Li should be permitted 30 minute unescorted walks than Jenny McCarthy is to comment on vaccinations.
