I just don't think that more murder is the answer to murder. Life and the world isn't fair. Sometimes justice will not be done and upholding the rule of law is more important than a bloodthirsty eye for an eye crusade for vengeance, which won't bring the deceased back or make their families sleep in peace at night anyway.
I believe the prosecution should have gone for the murder conviction rather than the easy manslaughter option they could have fallen back on if it didn't work out anyway, although a conservative might argue that the option they took saved a fortune on a trial and was the most efficient use of taxpayer's money. Murdering people to save money is another argument conservatives might have but will struggle to gain support for within a civilised society.
If my one of my loved ones had been murdered in this fashion then then I would sleep slightly more peacefully than knowing he could be released because he is “cured”.
