Vince Li (now Will Baker) was granted an absolute discharge but was/is subject to nightly monitoring to ensure he took his medication.
Do not conflate absolute discharge in terms of a legal status that removes the individual from needing to go infront of the Review Board with no medical support. Those are two different aspects to a discharging an NCR patient.
And again, remember that these cases are extremely rare. Studies have shown people who declared NCR from violent offenses have far lower recidivism rates than those with lesser offenses.
