LISTEN/WATCH HERE—> https://www.darknessradioshow.com
As shots rang out on March 30, 1981, outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Ronald Reagan and three others lay seriously wounded. Just two months after Reagan was sworn in as the 40th president, John Hinckley Jr. shocked the world with his obsession with a movie star. What followed was chaos. America learned of the deep psychosis that led to Hinckley’s obsession with actress Jodie Foster, and how, in his mind, he did it all for her. His trial gripped the nation. Many expected a guilty verdict, but his acquittal on grounds of insanity sparked outrage and forever changed how the law viewed mental illness.
Now, for the first time, Hinckley tells his own story. He takes us through an early life of unfulfilled dreams, a music career, and a college degree that slipped away, as well as the descent into a mind overcome by delusion. He recounts the years spent in confinement at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, the slow climb toward recovery, and the people who helped him find his way back.
On today’s TCT, we are joined by John Hinckley Jr. as he completely opens up to us about many topics including his issues with mental illness, his past obsession with Jodie Foster, his remorse over the attempted assassination of President Reagan and injuring the people involved, continued public backlash against him 45 years later, and much more!
