A jury found Hinckley not guilty by reason of insanity in 1982. Hinckley proceeded to stay at St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C., for more than three decades
A federal judge has approved the unconditional release of John Hinckley Jr., the man who shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan in 1981, his attorney told NPR.
Hinckley’s attorney Barry Wm. Levine told NPR that Hinckley has an “excellent” prognosis and “there is no evidence of danger whatsoever.”
Hinckley, 66, is set to be be granted his unconditional release in June 2022.
A jury found Hinckley not guilty by reason of insanity in 1982. Hinckley proceeded to stay at St. Elizabeths Hospital, in Washington, D.C., for more than three decades. In 2016, he was released from the hospital and has been living in Williamsburg, Virginia, at his mother’s house, according to CNN. His mother died in the summer of 2021.
The court-imposed restrictions Hinckley is currently living under have required doctors and therapists to oversee his psychiatric medication and therapy. Hinckley has been barred from having a gun. And he can’t contact Reagan’s children, other victims or their families, or actress Jodie Foster, whom he said helped “inspire” his assassination attempt in 1981.
A 2020 violence risk assessment conducted on behalf of Washington’s Department of Behavioral Health concluded that Hinckley would not pose a danger.
The U.S. government opposed ending restrictions as of a May court filing, and retained an expert to determine whether or not Hinckley would pose a danger to himself or others if unconditionally released. Findings from such an examination have not been filed in court.
Hinckley was 25 when he shot and wounded the 40th U.S. president outside a Washington hotel. The shooting paralyzed Reagan press secretary James Brady, who died in 2014. It also injured Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy and Washington police officer Thomas Delahanty.
Jurors decided Hinckley was suffering from acute psychosis, and said he needed treatment and not life in prison.

He was likely a DARPA mind control victim.
I don’t know if exploiting the mentally ill is technically mind control. Either way, it is evil.
This guy’s in luck. Jodie is still unmarried!
maybe we can make him believe biden molested her.
No, I think Jodie has a wife (Alexandra Hedison, daughter of David Hedison, aka The Fly).
I hear that’s just a ruse. She’s been waiting for Hinckley to be released. He only needs to prove himself worthy. He came so close in 1981 …
I heard on the DL that Hinckley’s shrink is a Dr. H. Lecter, and Hinckley wishes to be known as Buffalo Bill henceforth.
His new residence is on a hog farm owned by a dear friend of Dr. Lecter’s.
No way.
Buffalo Bill only liked fat girls.
He’s a criminal with a specialty … shooting presidents.
Hey, Mr. Hinckley, would you mind saying “hello” to Joe Biden? Wink, wink.
He was declared insane in 1982 and still is by most standards. He is now as sane as those in charge in D.C. so …..
I’m betting his next home will be Kennebunkport, Maine.
If only they had released him before the 2020 elections.
Tell him Joe Biden has been romancing Jodie Foster and it’s looking serious.
Cool. Send him to Australia and tell him their government hates Jodie Foster.
Soon, in a Democrat basement:
“Keep staring at the shiny object. You failed with Reagan but here’s your chance to succeed
with Donald Trump. You will be supplied with all you need.”
