Except no one is arguing what the law does and doesn't consider "criminally responsible". We're agruing that the law is wrong and that we disagree or at least, that we disagree with the decision to give him more undeserved freedom.

In my orginal post I said that the system is broken. There is no way anyone, regardless of medical expertise, will ever convince me that this guy having the freedom to be unsupervised in public is a good idea. Not because I don't trust the judgement of medical professionals, but because:

a) He still ####ing cut someones head off on a bus in front of dozens of witnesses. No professional stamp on any document will ever erase that from happening. To me, whether he is medically deemed responsible or not, doesn't matter. In my eyes, he's full blown guilty and should be under lock and key and strict supervision for the rest of his life. I know, you keep repeating "he is not guilty, stop using that logic" but answer this simple question. Did that person kill another human being?

b) It is completely messed to me that there are people serving more time for drug possesion charges, crimes that have no consequences on anyone but the user, then this guy.

System = Broken
