No he didn't.
Legal jargon.
How about he butchered his father to death?

Given he's just been granted unsupervised leave from the facility there would still be numerous conditions attached, including a curfew and possibly of notifying them of his whereabouts.amber_fluid wrote:Booney wrote:I feel like the basis of this debate is around people's perception of mental illness, not around the actions of Cy Walsh.
Nah not at all mate.
Plenty of people with mental illnesses are being treated and haven’t done such a terrible act.
He obviously went undiagnosed BUT that’s not the public’s fault.
I’m not sure how long he should stay in jail for but it sure as hell needs to be longer.

I also think there is a question over what is the role of the prison system?
If you view it as a punishment, then sending someone with mental health issues to gaol might be a bad thing.
If you view it as a location to store people who pose a risk to society, then sending someone with a history of killing another human might be a good thing.
For mine, I think people who pose a risk to other members of society should not be left to freely move within society.
I don't necessarily think they should be locked up in gen-pop of the local gaol, but I do believe they should be held within a mental health facility where they can't have unrestricted access to the general public.
If you pose a risk to society, society should be protected from you. Irrespective if that risk is as a result of your choice not to follow the rules, or if you don't have the mental capabilities to understand the rules, for mine, doesn't change the fact you should be removed from society. What it does change is how you should be removed. Murderers who choose to break the rules go to gaol, people with mental health issues go to health facilities for the rest of their lives.

And if he doesn't re-offend your life will never be impacted, Ill back in the experts here, he must have completed some significant recovery from where he was for him to have some freedoms.
