I get where you're coming from man. Last time this guy came up on here I was saying the EXACT same things as you and I still struggle to accept the fact that he's not being held responsible for such a horrible act. The thing is the last time this came up I got into a heated debate with everyone on here and when I really started to think about it, I started to realize I was probably wrong in thinking that this guy needs to be locked away for good. It basically comes down to understanding that he was sick and needed to get better and now that he has started to actually get better it was time to try and get him back into society.
That said, I think he should always be strictly monitored to make sure that he is sticking to his treatment. That is the most important thing in my opinion.
