I don't think the justice system should kill him. I don't know if he should be locked up forever. I do believe the mental health professionals job is to tell us if he is a risk to re-offend and we should accept their recommendations as part of determining his future. But that's all we can do.
de Grood has the ability to circumvent all of the uncertainty and how uneasy he's making a couple million people by ending his own life. It's what I'd do in his shoes.

I’d make sure I at least had required medical check ins, and medication, for life. And I wouldn’t fight it. I’d ensure I had it. I can’t understand an alternative viewpoint to that, so I don’t exactly trust individuals who fight it.
