Now my opinion is firmly in the "Why are so eager to let him go unsupervised" corner.

I don't understand the "eager" part. Everyone I've seen in this thread is rationally agreeing that what our legal system has determined for Vincent Li us the best and correct course of action given what we know.
Nobody's eager for anything, except for fairness for all citizens. In all honesty, Polak, your views aren't out of line in a lot of countries in the world, unfortunately.
Feel free to move to one of those, you can see things like a random guy being escorted to a town square and having his head chopped off because someone was pretty sure they saw him do something illegal.
You could move to the States and see families and law enforcement sit in chairs like they're at a theatre and watch a person murdered in front of them to satisfy their bloodlust and eye for an eye justice.
You can move to lots of places and get harsher, more punitive justice and you'd be able to applaud as your country takes a similar case to Li's and says "This man is sick in the head and regardless of why, he will never leave his cell for as long as he lives", but that country isn't Canada and I'm proud of that.
