It certainly seems odd to me that if this guy is allowed out of jail as long as he is on his meds, then shouldn't the rest of the people in jail have something similar offered? Why have we gone so far in this case?
You shoplift? Well here is some money. You assaulted someone? Here is some medication. You were on drugs? Well how about rehab or more drugs. Drunk driving but you are an alcoholic? There are absolutely mitigating circumstances with all of the situations.
I still don't see how we made the leap to what is happening with this case.

bleeding heart syndrome? with a good lawyer and the help of a doctor you can commit murder in the most evil of way and use a mental health issue as an excuse, apparently half the population will feel sorry for you and support you to get better.
terrible, the victims family must be going threw hell with this news
