About this audiobook
What should have been an ordinary journey across Manitoba became one of the most shocking criminal cases in Canadian history. On a Greyhound bus traveling through the Canadian prairie, 22-year-old Tim McLean sat beside a stranger. Within minutes, a seemingly routine trip would become a horrifying crime that left passengers traumatized, a family devastated, and an entire country searching for answers.Who was Tim McLean, and how did his final journey unfold? What drove Vince Li to commit such a devastating act against a complete stranger? And what happened when the criminal justice system confronted the question of whether the person responsible could be held legally accountable for his actions?The case took an extraordinary turn when Vince Li was found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder. From that point forward, the story moved beyond the crime itself and into the complicated intersection of mental illness, criminal responsibility, psychiatric treatment, public safety, and justice.But the legal finding raised difficult questions that would continue for years. What does not criminally responsible actually mean? How does Canada's system deal with someone who has committed an extremely serious crime but is found legally not responsible because of a mental disorder? And when treatment progresses, where should the line be drawn between rehabilitation, individual rights, and concerns about public safety?
