The man who tried to assassinate President Reagan is interested in getting a job in the music industry, possibly in California, his lawyer says at a court hearing Tuesday.

WASHINGTON — The man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan is interested in getting a job in the music industry, possibly in California, his lawyer said at a court hearing in Washington on Tuesday.

John Hinckley Jr. arrives at the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. District Court in Washington on November 19, 2003.Since 2016, Hinckley has lived at his mother's home in Williamsburg, Virginia. Hinckley lives under a set of 30 conditions Friedman imposed including regular visits with mental health professionals. Friedman gets reports on how he's doing and, on Tuesday, said he believes some conditions can be loosened.

Friedman's lawyer Barry Levine said during Tuesday's approximately 40-minute hearing that he would file a motion seeking reduced conditions, though he didn't say when or what precisely he'd ask for. He said he ultimately intends to ask that Hinckley be released without any conditions, and he said he would request that"in due course." He acknowledged after the hearing, however, that getting the judge to grant Hinckley unconditional release would be a lengthy process.

Prosecutor Kacie Weston didn't go into detail about why the government would be concerned about a move to California for a music industry job. But that kind of move would put him far from a team of mental health professionals he has worked with for years, and Hinckley's underlying crime had a link to California's entertainment industry. Hinckley shot Reagan in an effort to impress actress Jodie Foster.

We have the strangest country on Earth.

Who was his music teacher ? Charlie Manson ?

His new single 'I shot the president, but I didn't shoot the VP' comes out just in time for christmas

Your next NSA

There is an opening for the National Security Advisor. He would be highly qualified under the Trump Syndicate.

Doesn't Jodie Foster live in CA?

He should get together with Chapman - that guy who murdered John Lennon. Maybe they could collaborate and do a bunch of Charlie Manson tunes.

So ... still delusional.

Well,..... they are a sanctuary state

Well, I'm interested in neurosurgery. But, gee, I'm not qualified. Is he qualified for what he says he's interested in doing for a living? If so, apply. But don't expect it to be given to you.

Is he a radio head? What about Nash or Berkowitz? Maybe all the leaders have to be shuffled?

Did y'all tweet this by accident or something? I'm confused as to why this is news.

There are people in prison serving long sentences for lesser crimes that were not violent and this person is out walking around?

No job in Trump admin?

I'd buy that album.

MSNBC has an opening.

just another ex-felon on the streets out here.

He should move to DC

Of course he can in California. He can even crap on the street.

Oh, .......well........he should have mentioned that earlier . This matters ........why ?

Did he have a mental illness when he tried to assassinate Reagan or that wasn’t the excuse given for the white shooters back then? I know not video games yet they weren’t that popular yet not the ones like my son plays.

Death Row Records?

I hear that there is a national security adviser position open. No experience necessary, you just have to sing and dance occasionally.

Speaker at Democratic Convention next year.

ugh
