That's an admirably trait, it really is. But it's hard to keep a discussion cohesive when every post you seem to have formed a different opinion, in some form, while not acknowledging that it was any different than before.
So where are you at now? What's your current verdict? Keep him supervised longer under what capacity (i.e. what type of institute, security and day pass privileges) and for how much longer? Why (i.e. public safety, justice, appearance)?

I would argue that a society who keeps an 'innocent' man institutionalized for longer than necessary harms the society far far more than 1 murder ever could. Now, I am not saying that's at all the case here but there's a slippery slope.
