Only a guilty person can be sentenced for his crimes. This is our justice system, the biggest reason why Canada is a great country.
An innocent person who's assessed as a significant threat should continue to have the conditions and measurements put in place as recommended by his doctors (and approved by the Board).
An innocent person assessed as a minimal risk should be free to do as any other innocent person should.
Start blurring those lines and making innocent people face guilty sentences, low-risk people be held to the same standards as high-risk people and you're eroding the foundation of our justice system. Doing so under the guise of safety, emotional impacts or the bloodlust some apparently have does more harm to society than de Grood would.
