Hinckley was 25 and suffering from acute psychosis when his gunshots wounded Reagan and three others
This YouTube video still shows John Hinckley Jr. performing a cover of Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel."
“I was not just a cold, calculating criminal in 1981,” he said. “I truly believe I had a serious mental illness that was preventing me from knowing right from wrong back then.” Hinckley had previously been under restrictions that barred him from owning a gun, using drugs or alcohol or contacting members of the victims’ families. But a federal judge in Washington had said months ago that he would free Hinckley from those restrictions if he remained mentally stable. Those restrictions were lifted on June 15.
“I’m just trying to show people I’m kind of an ordinary guy who’s just trying to get along like everybody else,” he said.
