A man accused of cannibalism and murder has been granted conditional release, according to the Connecticut Psychiatric Security Review Board (PSRB).

The board granted Tyree Smith's release after a careful review of his clinical progress, officials said.
He's currently at Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown. Smith is accused of hacking a man to death with an axe in Bridgeport and eating part of the victim's brain and an eyeball.

The PSRB said Smith has demonstrated long-term stability, remained engaged in all recommended treatments and consistently followed his care.

His conditional release requires that he remain under structured supervision and that he continues to receive necessary mental health services.

Before being granted conditional release, a person is first placed on temporary leave status. This means they're still confined to the hospital, but have privileges that generally start with daytime passes to receive treatment in the community, including overnights and weekly check-ins at the hospital, the board said.

"Rehabilitation, not punishment, is the goal for all individuals found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI)," the PSRB said in a statement.

I'm all for rehabilitation especially if it's like a non-violent crime but uh... this? idk

Why eat the brain and eyeball? Wouldn't the thigh fat or something taste better?

Yeah, this person clearly didn't do their research. Eating the brain is a big no no.

Right? Imagine failing this hard at being a cannibal. Dude sounds like a fucking loser LOL

Read that as CE man.

Well I doubt they supported his diet in prison so atleast they can let him get free range humans.

Does lend credence to his insanity plea. I burned my arm a while back, and man, that smelled like some good pork.

Cannibalism AND murder? A gruesome twosome!

Burned human flesh unironically smells like cooked chicken >___> I've been around it enough to know

Uh... I question the actual ability to rehabilitate a CANNIBAL.

Edit he only did 1/5 of his sentence.

Tyree Smith was ordered confined to Whiting Forensic Hospital for 60 years in 2013 in connection with the killing of Angel Gonzalez, whose mutilated body was found in a vacant apartment in Bridgeport in January 2012 a month after he was hacked to death. Smiths cousin had testified that Smith told her he ate part of Gonzalezs brain and an eyeball while drinking sake.

Let me guess, all the evidence is gone? Mistrial?

He was already found not guilty by reason of insanity. They are just actually treating him like the insane person he claimed he was as opposed to a regular murderer.

Well as long as he pinky-swears to no longer murder people and consume their innards, well then that's all I need.
