Michael Reagan: I Don't Trust Hinckley on the Loose

Michael Reagan, son of ailing President Ronald Reagan, said Wednesday that he doesn't think his father's would-be assassin will be able to stay out of trouble once doctors let him out for unsupervised leaves from the Washington, D.C., psychiatric hospital where he has resided since 1981.

"I don't trust the fact that he's out," Reagan told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes." "He still should spend the rest of his life in that mental institution."

Reagan noted that the man who nearly killed the 40th president has yet to demonstrate that he even regrets the attack.

"The first thing you would do if you wanted to really show any remorse at all is to apologize to the families of the one's that you shot," he explained.

But Reagan said John Hinckley, Jr., has "done nothing for Sarah Brady, nothing for the Secret Service agent, nothing for the Delahanteys, nothing for the Reagans, no apologies, no letter, no nothing."

Psychiatrists treating Hinckley over the last 23-years say he still exhibits "deceptive" behavior, experiences bouts of "grandiosity" and has shown evidence of a continuing obsession with actress Jodie Foster, who he said he was trying to impress by killing Reagan.
