The man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan has been released from a Washington mental hospital for good, more than 35 years after the shooting. A spokeswoman for the District of Columbia's Department of Mental Health said early Saturday that all patients scheduled to leave St. Elizabeths Hospital had been discharged. John Hinckley Jr. was among those scheduled for discharge. Hinckley had already been visiting Williamsburg for long stretches at a time and preparing for the full-time transition. For at least the first six months he'll see his psychiatrist twice a month and he'll have to attend weekly group therapy sessions.
