WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Federal prosecutors in Washington say they oppose a request by the hospital treating John Hinckley Jr. that the would-be presidential assassin be freed.
The government mental hospital went to federal court in July to ask a judge to place Hinckley on "convalescent leave" so he can live with or near his 85-year-old mother Jo Ann Hinckley in Williamsburg, Va., CNN reports.
