On the plus side, it might keep Hinkley locked up for a long, long time. He's been getting weekend passes and his parents have petitioned to have him released under their home custody. This might very well put the kibosh on those plans.

He has been partially free for awhile. I think now he only has to be in the hospital 2 weeks a month. The rest of the time he is out, though he spends most of his time at his mothers home.

Ridiculous, politically-motivated decision. Completely asinine that someone could live for 33 years after an event, and that event be ruled to have "caused" someone's death.

What's next -- every death ruled as a homicide because someone punched or spanked them earlier in life?

Agreed.

Yep, by that logic every death is caused by childbirth.

Hinkley lives in Williamsburg, VA ... pretty sure I saw his picture in the paper just a month or so ago. Lives with mother in condo complex or gated community... can't remember which.

Here's some information (dated December, 2013) I came across:

A federal judge on Friday gave President Ronald Reagan’s would-be assassin modestly more freedom, allowing the 58-year-old who has lived and received mental health treatment for more than three decades at St. Elizabeths Hospital to spend 17 days a month visiting his mother’s home town of Williamsburg, Va.

John W. Hinckley Jr., who was found not guilty by reason of insanity in Reagan’s shooting, must prove to U.S. District Judge Paul L. Friedman that he can better integrate himself and socialize in Williamsburg before his release will go any further. But in a 106-page opinion expanding Hinckley’s monthly Virginia visits from 10 to 17 days, Friedman said he was persuaded that Hinckley “will not be a danger to himself or to others” if he is given more time away from the hospital.
