NEW YORK, June 19 (UPI) -- Would-be Reagan assassin John Hinckley Jr. should not receive more release time from a psychiatric hospital, federal prosecutors argue.
Hinckley, 53, continues to be "narcissistic" and out of touch with personal responsibility, federal prosecutors said in a motion against easing restrictions on the would-be presidential assassin.
Hinckley attempted to kill the late President Ronald Reagan outside a Washington hotel in 1981 to impress actress Jodie Foster and replicate a theme from the movie "Taxi Driver."
"A review of his medical files reveals symptoms of his narcissism -- in the form of continued inappropriate and unrealistic relationships with several women, as well as a reluctance to accept responsibility for his own behavior," the motion reads, the New York Post reported Thursday.
Administrators at St. Elizabeth's Psychiatric Hospital have asked a federal district judge to expand release privileges for Hinckley. But his actions on earlier, short-term releases led prosecutors to recommend against the move, concluding "expansion of his release conditions is improvident and endangers the community."
