U.S. federal prosecutors say they will not pursue criminal charges against John Hinckley, Jr. in the 2014 death of former White House press secretary James Brady.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia said Friday that because Hinckley was found not guilty of the shootings by reason of insanity, prosecutors cannot now argue that he was sane at the time he carried them out.
via Prosecutors: Hinckley Will Not be Charged in James Brady’s Death.
Color us not-surprised. And it only took the U.S. Attorney four months to come up with the decision that most everybody had figured out within 20 minutes after the medical examiner published his “finding.”
But no, it was not political.
So evidently you think that the federal prosecutor’s decision not to charge JH in JB’s death IS “political.” Can you unpack that for me?
Last day to donate to the Brady Campaign for tax deduction purposes was December 31st, last Wednesday. Deadline over and suddenly no mo’ Hinckley needed…
Yeah, and never mind that we don’t believe that dying 23 years later can conceivably be tied to the GSW.
Besides, we have Gabby now, so who needs Brady?
Gun Control “Heroes” do have an expiration date.
Crotalus DOES have a point…
