Michael Charles Hayes, who killed four people and wounded five others during a shooting spree in Forsyth County in July 1988, may soon be freed because of a watershed ruling from the N.C. Court of Appeals. His eventual release is certain, but the state has done little to prepare for it, or address cases in general in which defendants like Hayes are found not guilty by reason of insanity.
