Huh. So then if I die when I hit 73, does that mean the VC who shot me finally got a confirmed kill?

Politics rears its ugly head.

This changing things. No more weekend passes eh Johnny boy?!

ridculous

[TADSLOS]

This one has his wife written all over it (again).

[Secret Agent Man]

i don’t care, fox is now running satire.

IIRC, a victim must die within a year and a day in order for the death to be ruled a murder.

[Polynikes]

Interesting. Why are they focusing on James Brady, as if I have to ask, Pres. Reagan has already died and and he took a bullet from Hinckley. Intent was certainly demonstrated.

In California there is sort of a statute of limitation if the death is not immediate.

“194. To make the killing either murder or manslaughter, it is not requisite that the party die within three years and a day after the stroke received or the cause of death administered. If death occurs beyond the time of three years and a day, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that the killing was not criminal. The prosecution shall bear the burden of overcoming this presumption. In the computation of time, the whole of the day on which the act was done shall be reckoned the first.”

This is at the state level though. Apparently the federal level is variable if you are Sarah Brady and you lose your stage prop.

Until I hear more, I’m going to assume the media overreacted to a technical term in the autopsy. I’ll bet this goes away.

[technically right]

So, Harcourt Fenton Mud croacted, eh.

[mountainbunny]

I’m fine with this.

Don’t try to assassinate or kill someone, and you’ll never have to worry about it.

James Brady suffered greatly before he died. The shooter deserves to suffer now.

[Daffynition]

Mrs. Brady will turn this into a cash cow....now that she doesn’t have him to exploit.

[wita]

Thanks, heard on the radio today.

[Senator_Blutarski]

So 33 years later the gunshot wound is the proximate cause of death?

I call BS. This is obviously agenda driven.

[Senator_Blutarski]

Maybe he bled to death waiting for the police to respond.

[Starstruck]

Just because someone is judged insane doesn’t mean a homicide didn’t take place. I don’t the facts of what the ME found. Since Hinckly was found insane I doubt there will be a retrial.

[j_guru]

Interesting... Was he being treated at the VA, or was it obamacare that was the cause of death?

[Gay State Conservative]

After 30 years I sincerely doubt that I would vote,as a juror,to convict Hinkley of murder in any of its degrees.Attempted murder,sure,but no physician,no group of physicians,could convince me beyond a reasonable doubt of *murder*.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I’m all for keeping Hinckley locked up. But this has the stink of James’ skiffy wife. She can’t quit politicking even when her husband has been dead for a day. She’s every bit the pig that Billary is.

[PGR88]

Isn’t 33 years pretty obviously ex post facto?
