(Washington, DC) -- The man who shot and wounded President Ronald Reagan in 1981 will be allowed to visit his mother's home in Williamsburg, Virginia more often and stay there for longer periods of time.
That was the ruling announced by U.S. District Court Judge Paul Friedman yesterday.
Judge Friedman said the 53-year-old John Hinckley Jr. can obtain a Washington, DC driver's license and denied only a few requests.
Hinckley's stays at his mother's house will be extended from six to nine nights per visit.
Hinckley will also be able to work as a volunteer near the house.
Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the Reagan shooting and was ordered to become a patient at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in the nation's capital."

Praise the Lord for this constructive enculturation back into society. He certainly doesn't deserve to be condemned for the rest of his life.
ReplyDeleteI believe in Gods forgiveness but I wonder has Mr.Hinckely asked for forgiveness from God and those people he has wounded for life such as Mr. Brady who ended up in a wheel chair for the rest of his life, I believe as a nation we forget about the victims of violence and their families.Perhaps Mr. Hinckleys freedom should have a connection with his remorse and .forgiveness of what violence he bestowed upon his victims
