John Hinckley Jr, the man who tried to assassinate US President Ronald Reagan, is to be released from a psychiatric hospital next month after 35 years.

Mr Reagan and three others were injured in the shooting outside a hotel in Washington in March 1981.

Mr Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity but was sent for treatment to a Washington hospital.

    Sorry, a small transposition of numbers swirling in my head. Good thing I'm not a banker [soylentnews.org], eh? OTOH, Maybe I could have worked things out more in everybody's favor...
