John Hinckley, Who Shot President Reagan, Wins Unconditional Release
September 27th, 2021Via: NPR:
A federal judge has approved the unconditional release next year of John Hinckley Jr., who wounded President Ronald Reagan and three others outside a Washington, D.C., hotel in a failed assassination attempt in 1981.
Hinckley is now 66 years old and has been living outside a mental health facility for the past several years, a result of a gradual lightening of supervision. His lawyer said the “momentous event” of Hinckley’s full release in June is both appropriate and required by the law.

I’ve heard Hinckley now has a YouTube channel on which he sings a series of love-songs that he wrote himself. How much you wanna bet all those songs are about Jodie Foster? 😉
