Family of murdered Nashville college student from NJ outraged over killer’s sentencing: ‘It should have been life’

This part interested me the most:

Taylor’s eventual arrest sparked outrage at the time after it emerged he’d been nabbed but later cut loose for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon right before the teen’s slaying.

He was released from custody and never prosecuted because he wasn’t found competent to stand trial — despite the district attorney’s office warning he was a danger.

The perp, who doctors said has an intellectual disability and language impairment, also didn’t meet the burden to be involuntarily committed to a mental health facility.
