I can't speak on behalf of the family. But I think they see him never being free is what little justice they can get after these horrible events. For them to know that there is even a remote possibility of DeGrood being released because he in deemed well enough and on his meds, to them that must certainly feel like an injustice towards them.

I think it's important to remember that we don't know how the future is going to play out. If he has a review every year or 3 that doesn't mean he is going to be out in the public.
I know the family is angry/upset/many other emotions that he will be having regular hearings on his progress, but that is how the justice system works. Unfortunately there have been/are many people in the same position as them, but it's the best system we have at the moment. I'm sure we all could have a long debate about the justice system in general, but in this case it's not like he is getting special treatment.
