Hinckley Walks: Reagan's Would-Be Assassin Soon to Be Completely Free

The man who shot and nearly killed President Ronald Reagan in 1981 — also gravely wounding Reagan's press secretary James Brady, and downing Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy, and Metro Police Officer Thomas Delahanty — has been declared safe for unsupervised release starting in summer 2022.

Should a would-be presidential assassin ever walk free? Can such a mental illness actually be 'cured'?
