Hinckley can leave ma
John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to kill President Ronald Reagan, can move out of his mother’s home and live on his own, a federal judge ruled Friday.
Hinckley, who shot and wounded Reagan and three others in a 1981 assassination attempt in Washington, D.C., hotel, has been living with his mom in Williamsburg, Va., since 2016. He had been confined for decades to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital prior to that.
The 63-year-old Hinckley can now find his own home, as long as it’s within 75 miles of Williamsburg.
Hinckley must still submit to a list of conditions, including meeting twice a month with a social worker, a psychiatrist and a therapist.
He also can’t own a gun or consume alcohol, remains barred from contacting his victims’ families or traveling anywhere where there are former or current U.S. presidents, vice presidents and members of Congress.
He must carry a GPSenabled cellphone when he’s away from home.
