I’m fine with the murder charge for a decades-old act, too, if you can tie the injury to the cause of death. What I’m confused about is how they expect to convict when he was already found not guilty by reason of insanity. Would that decision not stand, and would this not be retrying him for the same act, with merely a higher charge?
I guess we don't really know if they expect to bring charges.
Even if they can't bring charges, though, if he died as a result of the shooting, it should say "homicide" on his death certificate.
The truth is the truth, no matter what.
Maybe Mr. Brady's children could sue the shooter? My understanding is that the shooter's family has (or had) quite a bit of money.
I was a kid when President Reagan was shot. One of the most upsetting, saddest days of my life. I know precisely where I was when I heard it and remember feeling shocked out of my skin. I have less than no sympathy for the shooter, whose name I choose to not even write.
He tried to kill an elected president. There are few acts more un-American than what he did. He should not be out going to movies and spending weekends on vacation.
