Reagan's attempted assassin, John Hinckley Jr, will be granted 'unconditional release' in 2022
« on: September 27, 2021, 04:08:45 pm »
President Ronald Reagan's attempted assassin John Hinckley Jr. will be granted "unconditional release" in 2022.

"'I'm going to after all these years grant unconditional release to Mr. Hinckley," Judge Paul L. Friedman said during a court hearing on Monday in the US District Court for the District of Columbia.

Hinckley Jr. shot Reagan, a police officer, a secret service agent, and Reagan's press secretary in an attempt to win over child actress Jodie Foster in 1981. The court accepted Hinckley's insanity plea, leading the government to place Hinckley in a DC-based psychiatric facility, St. Elizabeth's Hospital.

Probably better than continuing to waste money keeping him confined.

He was acquitted.  If assessments indicate he is no danger to himself or society, of course he should be released.

40 years in an insane asylum is a rather long stint.  I doubt he's still obsessed with Jodi Foster.

Let him out then rearrest him and try him for the murder of James Brady.

Then if he's not insane anymore transfer him to federal prison to live out the rest of his miserable life.

Halloween custom suggestion for Dementia Joe.  Dress as Ronald Reagan at Hinkley's after release party.

He should have been executed.  The insanity defense was reformed after he skated, but every sleazy lawyer tries to use it anyway.

That's a little creepy, given what his motivation for attacking Reagan was.

@Cyber Liberty

Understand that.

However...

A good prosecutor could make the case that because Hinckley put a .38 caliber slug in his brain it severely degraded his quality of life and ultimately contributed to his death.

Without Hinkley we never would have had the "Brady Bill".  Grounds right there for execution.

Depends on the state.  I was thinking more like depraved indifference.

One more man that should have not lived to see another year after shooting Reagan.  Extreme injustice!
