It appears he made some attempt at growth. He was taking psychotropic drugs (doesn't say if prescribed or self-medicating) and had attended a healing lodge. I wouldn't say for certain he still should have been behind bars but some sort of restrictions and court-ordered counselling seems like a good idea.
Society failed this guy before he ever committed a crime and it failed to protect the recent victims. That we can all agree on, but what should have been done to stop these murders isn't 100% certain.
