I wish I knew what the answer is. Having never been affected to the level as both side have been, it's easy to feel empathy for both.

I guess for me, if doctors and people with expertise think the person is treatable and not a threat; and of course, if they are not legally responsible as defined by our justice system, I don't see how continued incarceration is the answer.

Having said that, if a family member of mine was the victim, I don't think I would be rationalizing the same way either. I guess I just want to put my trust in the experts when it comes to these things and hope for the best.
