Okay but how does that look to you? You have a panel of specialists who say he was in the midst of psychotic episode at the time, therefore NCR. Now those same specialists are saying he is safe to start reintegrating back into society. So, in your opinion, what's the next step? Do we keep him locked up solely on the basis of what the victims' families feel?

Say a guy with an undiagnosed heart condition suddenly has a heart attack while he's driving and smashes into a playground full of kids. Doctors then provide him with medication that ensures such an incident is unlikely to happen again. Do you still lock him up for 10 years if that's what the parents of the kids he killed want?
