Uh, no your evidence does not support that. Nor are blanket statistics like that given huge weight in individual cases. Those with schizophrenia and relapsing are simply not under the same conditions that Mr. Li has been under for the last eight years. One of the biggest assets that Mr. Li has shown was the ability to recognize the need for treatment and the effects of not following it properly. The same may not be able said about the people making up the statistics. Take a look at undercoverbrother's post about his friend who ", when medicated she doesn't think she needs to be medicated because she doesn't have any problems." That's not the same as Li who has shown to recognize the importance for eight years.
He's already had eight+ years of treatment. He hasn't relapsed, he hasn't had issues. He's been the model patient. He's not part of the statistics being discussed because he's already gone well past the 2 year mark...I mean those are fine stastics and a great argument if we were talking about unconditional release in 2011, but they do not support anything with respect to someone who's been on treatment, and doing it well, for eight years.
Not to mention, a relapse or psychotic episode does not have to be violent. Anecdotal, but it's more likely he's found screaming at himself or naked than it would be of him murdering someone.
So relapsing is already low, and murdering another person is even lower.
