Summarily, not one person on this board, myself included, has a qualified opinion either. Unless of course they are a Psychiatrist, or Psychologist. I may be wrong in thinking he is never fit for release, but those that fell he is, may be equally wrong. However those that feel he should be, seem to think they are right and everyone else who doesn't share their opinion is a misinformed, slack jawed, buffoon.

I had a friend growing up who tried to kill his mother. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia and ended up spending some time in the hospital to get treatment. He was later released and tried to live his life as best he could. In the end he committed suicide. Of course i'm not a Psychiatrist, or Psychologist but I do have some insight and feel i'm allowed to form an opinion.
There are no gaurentees in cases like this and we have to trust the people in the medical filed who are treating him and the review board that will decide if he does or doesn't get freedom. If in the end he doesn't get freedom i'm fine with that also. I have empathy for both the victim and the family.
