John Hinckley Jr. — the man who shot President Ronald Reagan four decades ago but was found not guilty by reason of insanity — is set to be unconditionally released from court supervision next year under an agreement disclosed at a court hearing Monday.
"If he hadn’t tried to kill a president, he would have been in unconditional release long, long ago," U.S. District Court Judge Paul Friedman said of Hinckley. "I'm going to, after all of these years, grant unconditional release to Mr. Hinckley. ... I think it's probably overdue given the record in this case."
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Well, yeah. Duh.
I have a distinct recollection of a photo of Hinckley in the back seat of a car, so yes, I think he's been on some kind of release.
Yeah, here is a reference from Yahoo News: "Hinckley, 66, has been in Williamsburg, Va., since a court granted his supervised release from a mental health facility in 2016."

He's had supervised release for a number of years I believe. Or maybe that's Mark Chapman.
Yeah that was Hinckley. He is/was in a Maryland hospital for many years, but would visit his mom in Williamsburg, VA (I think?) often each year.
