I have't said he is cured, wait have I?

or not, and can only accept reports from experts who have to make informed assumptions based on behavior. In terms of studying exactly what is going on in the brain, that's just not happening yet. As a society we maybe need that certainty to give back someone's personal freedom after committing an act of violence of this magnitude. I really don't care about punishing Degrood or seeking justice or any of that and my reasons for wanting him to stay isolated from society has nothing to do with revenge - I simply think that the safety of society trumps his personal freedoms in this instance, and until we have something better than behavioral analysis based on living medicated for a lengthy period of time, that need to protect society is more important.
While you don't "care about punishing Degrood, it appears Ne7en does.
