Part 1: John Hinckley Jr on Plan to Get Jodie Foster to Fall in Love with Him by Shooting President
--------
In this VladTV interview, John Hinckley Jr. reflects on the moments after the 1981 shooting of President Ronald Reagan outside the Washington Hilton. As Reagan was rushed by Secret Service to George Washington University Hospital with a punctured lung, internal bleeding and a broken rib, Hinckley says he was taken to FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., where he learned the president had been hit. The discussion revisits Reagan’s well-known remarks to surgeons and Nancy Reagan, the other victims injured that day, and Hinckley’s fixation on actress Jodie Foster. Facing 13 felony counts, including attempting to assassinate the president, Hinckley describes his mindset before the trial that ultimately ended with his acquittal by reason of insanity. A stark look at presidential history, mental health, celebrity obsession, and one of America’s most consequential criminal cases.
