It’s as simple as that.Ī few years ago, a psychiatrist at the Selkirk Mental Health Centre near Winnipeg seeking limited freedom for Li set the wheels in motion by testifying that Li had a 0.8% chance of reoffending. The reason Li had so dramatically short-circuited in 2008, and had begun to hear voices urging him to kill? If he gets it, it will be as if McLean’s murder never happened, with nothing on the books even mentioning Li. The Criminal Code Review Board in Manitoba said Monday it needs a “few days” to decide if Li gets the absolute discharge he is seeking. Li, who suffers from a severe form of schizophrenia, was found not criminally responsible for his macabre actions, and sent off to a maximum-security mental health facility presumably for life, but has since gained incremental freedom and started living alone last year, although he's still being monitored. The public is supposed to believe that forensic psychiatrists can walk on water, and are infallible in their diagnoses, even though the human brain is stuffed with the complexities of a 100-billion neurons, each with upwards of 100,000 synaptic connections that must line up precisely in order to avoid the prospect of short-circuiting.Įditorial: With no conditions, Vince Li is a threat The 2008 murder of 22-year-old Tim McLean, attacked as he slept in his seat on a bus about an hour outside of his home town of Winnipeg, was one of the most ultra-violent killings imaginable.īut today Li is closer to being a free man, with no conditions. Time does not erase or sanitize those facts. Call him Vince Li, or call him by his new alias Will Baker, but also call him what he is - a cannibal killer who beheaded his victim in the back of a Greyhound bus, cut out his heart and ate a piece of it.
