Sadly - now what? This man is going from the only housing, food, “health care” and routine his adult life has ever known, to a society not equipped to help anyone adapt to life within it. He has an intellectual disability and schizophrenia, is likely largely unskilled for today’s workforce. If his representation were to pursue a claim and he were to win a payout, he is probably not equipped to manage that money and would become a target for people wishing to relieve him of it.
I’m not saying for a moment that he should stay in prison, what I’m saying is that it’s a damning indictment on society, and government priorities that this man will probably be no safer, no less stressed, no more able to thrive and enjoy his later years in life, than if her were to remain in prison. I worry that unless this legal activist is prepared to dedicate years of personal investment of time and energy facilitating this man’s life out in the world, we’re watching a lamb being thrown to the wolves.





Excuse me, uh did you say yutes?
Yeah your honor the two yutes.
Uh, what is a yute?
