WINNIPEG -- The public will find out after all whether the man who decapitated a fellow Greyhound passenger and then mutilated his body will be kept in an institution or granted a conditional release.
Of course there is no other decision possible than that he would be put in a mental facility, and be treated for his schizofrenia. Any other decision will be against the public safety.
After he is found guilty, he should be locked up for life. I don't care where, as far as I am concerned he gets treatment, but he still should be locked up for life. With no chance of parole. IMO, there is not much difference between someone who KNEW what he was doing and killed someone, and someone who didn't rationally know. There is still someone dead. Pay for it.
Did he become a Canadian or did he become an immigrant though? Let's face it.. I doubt there's much demand in Canada for foreign, homicidal wackos so we can probably send him back.
Immigrants cannot become citizens untill they are in Canada for 1085 days (3 years). The days you were outside of Canada, do not count. You have to take a citizenship test to become a citizen. So if is stated he became a citizen in 2005, he became a landed immigrant at least 3 years prior to that, 2002.

He's not going to be found guilty. He's already been found NOT GUILTY.

He's not going to be found guilty. He's already been found NOT GUILTY. He has been found mentally ill. If he was found just "not guilty" he would have been walking the streets
He has been found mentally ill. If he was found just "not guilty" he would have been walking the streets
"Mentally ill" isn't a verdict. "Not guilty" by reason of mental disorder, he is. If he can convince the psychiatrists to rub the "INSANE" stamp off his hand, he will be walking the streets. Likely, he'll be locked up for life, but he'll never be anything other than "not guilty" of this murder.
"Brenda" said I'm not a psychiatrist, nor a lawyer, nor a judge.
Tell me, what would the difference be if he was found guilty, and completely sane? Oh, right, he would be out in, say... 10 years
No, if he had been found guilty of 1st degree murder, he'd have gotten a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years (minimum sentence for this offence, Brenda). Maybe EyeBrock could comment; he's better versed than I on criminal law.

He's not a Canadian citizen. Why are we keeping him?
I heard he was... but if he turns out not to be, I have no idea why he hasn't been deported already.

Immigrant from China, he became a citizen in 2005.
