More than 40 years after he shot then-President Ronald Reagan in 1981, a federal judge confirmed that John Hinckley Jr. will receive an unconditional release from prison.
U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman announced Hinckley will be released on June 15th.
As previously reported by Human Events News, Hinckley was committed to St. Elizabeth’s hospital for more than 34 years before he was released under certain restrictions in 2016. A federal judge ruled in September that he could be unconditionally released the following year as long as he remained in good behavior.
“If he hadn’t tried to kill a president he would have been released unconditionally a long time ago,” U.S. District Court Judge Paul Friedman said at the time.
