It's tough though, how do you know that they won't use those skills against you? The individual seems relatively unstable and violent, even saying during a sentencing hearing that they'll continue to do illegal breaches whenever they can.

Would be great to have them on the "good" side, but would probably take a lot of energy and resources as well.

Hopefully this story will have a somewhat happy ending, because it seems to not end yet.

He'd need a dedicated handler, and even then judging from the article's portrayal he seems like a hopelessly unmanageable type. He'd fit in with a modern-day A-team, come to think of it.

Could set him to work on hacking official state enemies, but you'd have to expect that he'd still engage in side-projects against whoever pissed him off or he had contempt for.

It’s not going to happen. He’s going to be closely supervised in a hospital indefinitely.

Admitting you will continue to fight evil is not evil.
