- No, Charlie is *not* in a mental ward: the state of California does
- not consider him to be insane. He has never been declared insane
- or certified a public danger because of psychotic instability.
- Further, it's pretty much a given that within the next 5-10 years
- the parole board will run out of reasons not to release him (his
- "life" sentence is a soft/evaluative one). Lastly, the state would
- have a hell of a time getting him declared criminally insane after
- maintaining for 20+ years that he *isn't* insane, so they'd have no
- constitutional grounds to hold him.

- Charlie's getting out, folks. Maybe not now, but soon enough...
