Cannibal Granted Supervised Release After Brain-Eating Murder
Tyree Smith, found not guilty by reason of insanity for the 2012 hatchet murder and cannibalism of Angel Gonzalez, has been conditionally released from Whiting Forensic Hospital after nine months in a supervised community facility. This decision, following a Psychiatric Security Review Board hearing, was based on a psychiatrist’s assessment of his full remission from schizophrenia and substance abuse disorders. However, the victim’s family expressed deep concerns about public safety, a sentiment echoed by several state senators who deemed the release “outrageous.” Smith’s release mandates continued treatment and strict supervision.
