A U.S. judge will grant the unconditional release of John W. Hinckley Jr. effective in June 2022, 41 years after he shot President Ronald Reagan and three others outside a D.C. hotel, the judge said at a court hearing Monday morning.

The court acted after the Justice Department agreed to end court supervision of Hinkley, who was freed from a government psychiatric hospital and granted conditional release to live in Williamsburg, Va., in 2016.

U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman said he will officially approve the terms in writing later this week. The unconditional release terms includes a final nine-month period of observation required by prosecutors and a government medical expert, but requires no further court action.

2. Great..🙄 Glad to have an updated picture of him so I can avoid him in town

I hope someone keeps an eye on him now that his mom is dead.

3. Yeah. From what I understand everyone there knows he's been there

Over the years he’s been seen taking walks. He started getting released slowly I think about 20 years ago. I used to work on the golf course and everyone knew where his parents lived. Everyone seems to be pretty considerate of his family and give them some space I guess you’d say.

4. Yes my son worked in the gated community where they lived

I hope the rest of his family has regular contact with him now that his mom is gone. Or that he keeps his mind occupied with his art and music.

6. I was no fan of Reagan but this is BULLSHIT

eom

[USALiberal]

8. So attempted murder should be life in prison?

[bigtree]

12. Brady's death was ruled a homicide

...Hinkley couldn't be convicted of that, but it should factor in.

13. It does not follow.

(that's a logical fallacy. And now you know...)

7. When is he expected at Mar A Lago?...

In Bizarro Trump World I can see him as the next republican champion

10. lol

I thought you meant so he could shoot TFG...

9. He murdered Jim Brady

It took him decades to die, but his cause of death was homicide. Hinckley's shot caused massive brain damage that eventually killed him.

11. True

But Hinckley wasn't charged with Brady's death - or convicted in the shooting - because he was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

14. Assassination attempts on world leaders is no joke.

It was one dumbass in Sarajevo that brought us World War 1 and massive amount of lives lost.

The assassination of Tsar Alexander the II, put an end to his reforms (they killed him because he wasn't moving fast enough on them). Which brought in Alexander the III and Nicholas the II who firmly ended the reforms and reversed them. And for all intents and purposes, caused the Russian Revolution.

Granted he is insane, but put him in Club Fed. He's going to need constant observation.

15. I hear Donald Trump loves Jodie Foster...
