WASHINGTON -- A proposal to let the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan go on weeks-long visits to his mother's home and live there eventually is "premature and ill conceived," government attorneys said Friday in a court document.
John Hinckley, who was found by a jury to be insane at the time of the 1981 shooting, has spent the last three decades largely confined to a Washington mental hospital. In recent years, however, he has been allowed increasing amounts of time outside the facility including multi-day visits with his family.

Used to be an attack against our president was treason & punishable by death. Next thing you know, he'll be promoted to president of Jodi Foster's fan club.
