Li was found not criminally responsible...A judge ruled in March that Li suffered from untreated schizophrenia and did not realize that killing the 22-year-old carnival worker was wrong. The review board responsible for Li's fate ruled this week that the Chinese immigrant will remain institutionalized for at least another year.

Unbelievable!

Well, if “not guilty by reason of insanity” is a valid verdict, it raises the question “what happens when the accused is no longer insane?” Mental illnesses don’t always last forever.

There will come a day when Li is let out, probably, when he’s no longer deemed a threat. It’s tough to swallow, but it’s a fair call.
