Plus, he's living in a group home and has to be heavily medicated for the rest of his life. It's not like society is missing out on much.

But then again, in situations like this, where there is zero doubt of who comitted the murder and why, I'm A-OK with the death penalty, so I'm biased. I just don't see how he deserves to be free in any way.

If I was the family of his victim I'd be devastated. How has justice been served? Their son/sibling/boyfriend/husband is gone, by virtue of public decapitation, and this guy gets to have any semblence of freedom? The system failed.
Actually your first post about seems to point to you thinking he should be killed or at the very least locked up forever.

I think he should be supervised for longer. That's all. It's only been 7 years.

It's not based on punishment, it's based on risk and apperance. Apperance to appease the public and the victims.
