The risk of over-mitigation
On his own version, OP executed someone in amazingly violent fashion who did nothing more than go to their ensuite bathroom and open the window on a perfectly ordinary night.
Was he intoxicated, was there an exceptional catastrophe of prior events, was this a one-off?
No, apparently this is a permanent risk after decades of his brain physically altering due to a slow-burn. He has dangerous ingrained responses that are unavoidable. If he was placed in the same situation tomorrow, apparently there is a strong risk he could do exactly the same again what with his 'fight' behaviours and startles and obsession with protecting himself. The law is even powerless from preventing him safekeeping a friend's gun (it isn't possession remember) thereby having access to a lethal weapon, not to mention knives, bats, swords - if someone's back is turned, he is surely liable to mistake them for an intruder in his fear.
He needs to be securely held for the safety of the public, until his slow-burn has been reversed (must be an equally slow fix for the brain to change back...). This outcome actually makes him more dangerous than a pre-meditated murderer imo.
