The victims wishes 100% should come first in a scenario like this. This woman had 3 children butchered by this maniac. My parents lost a child and a grandchild (the child of my sister that passed away, who they raised from 5 years old.) and I can tell you, the most painful thing any parent has to go through is losing a child. Both deaths in my family were entirely different circumstances, dealing with someone slaughtering them... I can't imagine what that woman is dealing with.
The first person who should be taken into consideration in this scenario is the mother. If she finds it within herself to forgive him, then fine, let him taste some freedom. But now, if you read the article, she has to live in terror of this person again. She is being re-victimized by this monster, and she shouldn't be.

This guy butchered his own kids, not sure about this guy but the greyhound bus guy seems pretty horrified about what he did while not on meds. So presuming the mental health officials got it right and presuming that he is getting healthier he would be as horrified as she is.
If you don't believe in not criminally responsible we can have a debate but what you propose here for victims doing the sentencing leads to heads, hands and dicks being chopped off.
