John Hinckley, who shot then-President Ronald Reagan outside the Washington Hilton in 1981, wants unsupervised visits home to see his aging parents in Williamsburg, Va., the Post reports. Hinkley, who has been confined to St. Elizabeths Hospital in Southeast D.C. for the past two decades, has been allowed to leave the hospital campus unsupervised on a few occasions to see his parents when they have been in D.C.
Although those visits went off without any problems, the Secret Service still keeps track of him.
A U.S. district judge has a hearing set for Nov. 8 to consider Hinckley’s request. Prosecutors intend to oppose such a request.
