Breitbart.com - A Canadian Judge ruled that Vince Li, the Chinese immigrant to Canada who stabbed Tim McLean to death last July, is "not criminally responsible due to mental illness." Li was accused with beheading and cannibalizing McLean and will be sent to a mental health institution instead of prison or receiving the death penalty. Carol deDelley, Tim's mother, said that "a crime was still committed, a murder still occured." Justice John Scurfield said Li's attack was "grotesque", "but strongly suggestive of a mental disorder." Li will be institutionalized without a criminal record, and reassessed every year by a review board to see if he is fit for release. Li's trial lasted hardly two days, and the court only heard from two witnesses. DeDelley said her son's death highlights concerns about the justice system, alerting people that there is a problem.
