What's to stop someone with a strong will and intent to murder someone from studying up on the symptoms of schizophrenia and tricking the doctors into letting them out into society, 5 years after murdering someone? I completely understand that people may have mental illness, but once that illness causes them to take the lives of other people, the mental illness should have no bearing on their incarceration and they should not be let back into society. I feel like the government is committing a grave error on this one.
