Significant threat of course is subjective to a degree but does not mean he has exact same odds as me or you of doing something.

Do we know that from his evaluations that he is not considered a significant threat to society. His lawyer is asking for an absolute discharge. This has not been tested by the courts yet or been testified to by medical experts. Medical experts have deemed that he is not a significant risk if he is properly monitored.
Do you as a person with an opinion without deferring to experts feel that the risk of him not taking his medication or his medication not work is significant.
As an aside if I am Li I want continuous monitoring. If I have done something that horrible and it was my brain that tricked me into doing it and the only thing stopping me from doing it again is the medication being taken and being effective I want some fail safes in place to ensure if the effectiveness of the med's changes I don't slide of a cliff.
