Not that I have heard. I don't think it made much of a "ripple" in terms of news coverage.
Some people commented on news websites and that's about it.
These are the things that bother me a bit (from source:

"With the NCR declaration, Li will not have a criminal record."
"His case must also be reviewed on an annual basis by a mental health review board." (so, he could be released to the public one day, as long as he stays on his meds....which is positively a frightening spectre)
and I feel terribly for the family of the victim, who basically have to revisit this case every year for the rest of their (or his) life:

My thoughts are, I don't care if he is in jail or in a hospital, just as long as he is never ever released into the public.
