| Connecticut cannibal killer given conditional release after 2011 murder in which he ate victim's brain, eye | |
| 2025-02-23 | |
Condition being "Don't eat nobody else?"
Tyree Smith was granted a conditional release by the Nutmeg State’s Psychiatric Security Review Board on Friday, allowing him to leave Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown, although he will remain under supervision and will continue to receive mental health services, according to WFSB. Smith's doctor said the cannibal killer has been rehabilitated and is taking medications to help with psychosis and voices in his head, the outlet reported. Like that's a problem. "To quote the director there, he is a joy. He is considered a support to the other people there," forensic psychiatrist Caren Teitelbaum said. "Once he was stable, he was a really calming presence for other patients." "He has maintained clinical stability. Adhered to the medications and continued to engage in group and substance abuse treatment," Teitelbaum added. "He also denied visual hallucinations and a desire to harm others or himself." But others, including GOP state Sen. Paul Cicarella, contested that Smith should remain under close watch in a hospital. "Murder and cannibalism and release in the same sentence. That’s a problem. That's concerning to me," he told WFSB. | |

| #3 You would think that the victim impact statements would have been extreme enough to prevent his release. |
