Bush Son Had Dinner Plans With Hinckley Brother Before Shooting

The family of the man charged with trying to assassinate President Reagan is acquainted with the family of Vice President George Bush and had made large contributions to his political campaign, the Houston Post reported today.

Scott Hinckley, brother of John W. Hinckley Jr., who allegedly shot Reagan, was to have dined tonight in Denver at the home of Neil Bush, one of the vice president's sons.

The newspaper said in a copyright story, Scott Hinckley, brother of John W. Hinckley Jr., who allegedly shot Reagan, was to have dined tonight in Denver at the home of Neil Bush, one of the vice president's sons.
The newspaper said it was unable to reach Scott Hinckley, vice president of his father's Denver-based firm, Vanderbilt Energy Corp., for comment. Neil Bush lives in Denver, where he works for Standard Oil Co. of Indiana.


Those Butchers, er, uh, Bushes are real stinkers as are their clients.

1. Alleged?
Alleged? I thought he was tried and found not guilty only by reason of insanity or some such. There's no "alleged" about it.

2. Ever see that Buckwheat skit by Eddie Murphy? That was closer to
the truth.

3. Are you saying Hinckley didn't shoot Reagan?
Just want to be clear on that.

4. This is a reprint of a 1981 story: "alleged" was correct then.
One Clue: The Houston Post stopped being published in 1995.

5. Wouldn't the status remain "alleged" if there was no trial before a judge
or jury where the facts could be extracted, examined, and challenged? Since Hinckley bowed out, so to speak, with a not guilty by way of insanity, then the issue remains open for debate and short of congressional hearings or an investigation, there is no comprehensive way to decide who really shot at Reagan.
