This makes me so angry. This guy lived in the apartment building above me before I moved to this house. I, actually, made him food in the eatery where I cooked. This is a horrible thing he did. I cannot believe they are going to let him have freedom.

Hi, Ms. Staro.
I would like to believe I understand your anger. I am appalled, shocked and dumbstruck.
I did some research and found this:
(Warning!)
Killing of Tim McLean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the USA the VERY few murderers that are found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity and sent to a facility for the criminally insane stay there for the rest of their lives. However, and this is a BIG however, when the patient responds to treatment (meds/therapy) the psychiatrists, by law, are mandated to inform the authorities the person is responding to treatment and no longer a threat.(Mind you, they are responding to treatment IN THE FACILITY!) And...are released. They may have a ton of requirements to abide by but they are released. (BTW-my baby brother was reading an article in the news paper where a murderer was released from the insane asylum and went on to commit another murder. He pointed at me and said something to the effect, "You psychologist/psychiatrists let these murderers out an they go off and kill again!)
It's not US (psychologists/psychiatrists) who *let them off*. It's the justice system. If that *human* is responding to the meds/therapy... they get out.
(These *patients* are not, for the most part, compliant to taking their meds, Bummer)
Sorry. Long winded post. But really, we do not have the ability to keep a murderer/rapist/pedophile if they are complying.
Peace.
