The Court rules that Vince Li wins in court

The court has decided to grant Vince Li supervised day passes in Selkirk. Some residents say it is only a matter of time that Li would be allowed to leave the hospital and return to his old life. According to the experts Li cannot be found guilty because he was insane when he committed the horrific murder. The people in Selkirk are a bit nervous about this arrangement. I hope the Courts know what they are doing and not exposing the public to more violence from this man. Even though he is not criminally responsible, it does not change the fact that Li was not on medication when he committed the act. Is there someone who will monitor him and ensure that he takes his medicine while on his own, which will happen sooner or later.
Some illnesses are not curable and society has to acknowledge that and unfortunately those people have to spend their time in supervised environment. Maybe special housing around the hospital should be made for people like Li who may be able to help others in similar situations.
As the good Lord says, we have to forgive those who against us as we ourselves as for forgiveness.

Should Vince Li be given a second chance at life?

Monday, a psychiatrist who has been treating Li asked the Manitoba's Review Board to allow Li to take escorted trips into the community of Selkirk, north of Winnipeg with two escorts. Dr. Steve Kremer said Li has responded well to his treatment and understands he has schizophrenia.

We are aware that everyone deserves a second chance at life but when one person suffers from an illness like the worst kind of schizophrenia - an illness that lead him to commit one of the most heinous crimes that of beheading a human being by beheading. How do we know that Li would not suffer another psychotic break? Can the doctors guarantee society that?
