    Hello Everybody,

    Not guilty by reason of insanity.
    And now he is free as a bird.
    Freedom Day for John Hinckley, Jr.
    The man who shot the President.
    And got away with it.
    No longer a danger to himself or to others.
    So says the judge (#3) ...

    Hinckley Gains Freedom

    WASHINGTON (AP) — John Hinckley Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan
    in 1981, is “no longer a danger to himself or others” and will be freed from court oversight this month as planned, a federal judge said
    Wednesday, capping Hinckley’s four-decade journey through the legal and mental health systems.

    U.S. District Court Judge Paul L. Friedman had freed Hinckley in
    September from all remaining restrictions but said his order wouldn’t
    take effect until June 15. Wednesday’s final hearing was scheduled to
    ensure Hinckley was continuing to do well in the community in Virginia
    where he has lived for years.

    Hinckley did not attend the final hearing, and the judge made no
    changes to his plans to give Hinckley full freedom from court oversight.

    “He’s been scrutinized. He’s passed every test. He’s no longer a danger to himself or others,” Friedman said at a hearing that lasted about an
    hour. Friedman devoted much of the hearing to talking about the “long
    road” of the case, which he was randomly assigned two decades ago, the
    third judge to be involved in the case.
