Murder charges against Hinckley after death of Jim Brady?
As you may recall, Reagan's Press Secretary Jim Brady was the most seriously wounded victim of Hinckley's attempt to assassinate Pres. Reagan. Shot in the head, he never rcovered and was seriously disabled. Afther his recent death a coroner ruled his death a homicide. Some speculate that the government may now go afer Joohn Hinckleky with murder charges. There are a number of serious legal and factual issues that will probably gett in the way of the pproseuction. Stay tuned.

Hinckley's aggravated assault did its intended harm regardless of Brady's time of death. There should be no statute of limitation for this type of crime.
