The mental health review hearing for a former Quebec cardiologist found not criminally responsible for killing his two children resumed with testimony from a psychiatrist, who said Guy Turcotte poses no danger to the public.
Dr. Louis Morissette told the board of Montreal's Pinel Institute on Thursday that Turcotte no longer shows any signs of mental illness.

Cases like this drive me absolutely crazy. I get the fact that some people have mental problems but I don't think that it should be an "escape for jail" card.
