John Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity at a 1982 jury trial.

That verdict prompted Congress and some U.S. states to adopt laws limiting use of the insanity defense.

Keep resting, Reagan.

Just mention or use Nigeria as a case study

Ndi omekome

I don't wish Buhari death but it would have been better he also gets shot perhaps on his legs so that he'll feel the pains of the families of numerous protesters and self-determination crusaders he ordered his soldiers to torture, dehumanize, shoot and kill

Yeah, the killers were initially thought to be *UGM* or *BANDITS* but alas it was the work of a B-Boy.

Bad

The president had just finished addressing a labor meeting at the Washington Hilton Hotel and was walking with his entourage to his limousine when Hinckley, standing among a group of reporters, fired six shots at the president, hitting Reagan and three of his attendants. 
White House Press Secretary James Brady was shot in the head and critically wounded,
Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy was shot in the side, and District of Columbia policeman Thomas Delahanty was shot in the neck.
After firing the shots, Hinckley was overpowered and pinned against a wall, and President Reagan, apparently unaware that he’d been shot, was shoved into his limousine by a Secret Service agent and rushed to the hospital.

Oh what a Day!
We still remembered how the story broke out all over the world!!

Too bad
