^^ No problem. If the experts are wrong and he beheads someone else they can rescind the order.

The Review Board found that “the weight of evidence does not substantiate that Mr. Baker poses a significant threat to the safety of the public.”

With the absolute discharge, Baker will no longer need any supervision and will continue to live in his Winnipeg apartment.

So he might be a risk, but not a "significant" risk. Now what does that mean?? And he will now have NO supervision. Wow.

i wonder how the parents of the dead son feel about this
question, since he was insane at the time ,and now is free as a bird ,can he start using the greyhound bus again,or any bus ?

I'm not sure that you understand how mental health works.

I'm not particularly surprised. If he had untreated mental issues and he killed someone, then he wouldn't be criminally responsible and his file would quickly turn into a treatment case.

Not saying I support it specifically, but I also don't oppose it because legal and medical professionals would have literally no other reason to discharge him if he hadn't achieved a state where he could be released.

If he does commit another murder, hopefully the family will sue whomever released him now for every penny they have and will have in the future. Just out of principal, not for need of the money.

[the truth]

what i am asking is does greyhound have the right to ban him for using there bus because of what he did ? Or because he was insane at the time they do not have the right to ban him from using there buses

My friend was good friends with the victim.
This is absolutely disgusting.
He should have to live 25 years in a psych ward i'm sorry but this is insane.

Something nobody has addressed.........

Should Vincent LI (alias - Will Baker) decide to volunteer at a school, the Y, wherever. He will need to get a criminal record check.

He has an ABSOLUTE DISCHARGE, so no record will come up on CPIC. Cleared to help out with kids.

Cool eh ?

[Queen K]

I want him to live right beside anyone who sits on the Review Board.

I mean, this is unfrikkenbelievable.

Who is monitering his taking his meds?

[Smurf]

Sorry but this man should never have been released. Can anyone else remember them saying at the time of his arrest he had gone off the meds he was taking for something and that was the problem. I am sure I can remember that but I could have had a bad dream.

My son was murderd 7 years ago and I still would like to kill the useless sob. I hope his family gets justice,not Canadian but real justice.

Am I the only one seeing an irony right now?

Sex offender on the loose, 50 convictions for previous crimes against women in our society.

And yet we're letting a murderer out, FULL RELEASE.
I guess he only has 49 more murders to do to catch up to the MIA sex offender.

Open Letter to Americans:

Sure, immigrate here.
But bring guns.
Lots.
Please.
Sorry for our up state of affairs.

Canada.

The justice system in Canada is truly F up
