Hinckley views verdict as fair (S)SAFEWAY SUPER SAVERS SAVE YOU MONEY! (S)SAFEWAY SUPER SAVERS SAVE YOU MONEY! (S)SAFEWAY SUPER SAVERS SAVE YOU M0N1 United Press International WASHINGTON — John W. Hinckley Jr., in an unsolicited letter to Newsweek magazine, opposes a major crime-fighting goal of the Reagan administra tion curbing the insanity defense. In the letter, Hinckley also wrote that after initial plea bargaining with the Justice De partment failed, he offered to plead guilty — but was rebuffed. “Sending a John Hinckley to a mental hospital instead of pris on is the American way,” he wrote in the letter that appears in Newsweek’s current issue. Reagan, shot by Hinckley last year, is proposing to Congress a crime-fighting package. Among the proposals is one to alter the insanity -defense that Hinckley successfully employed in his trial last spring. Attorney General William French Smith, promoting the package Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with David Brinkley,” said the administration would like to eliminate insanity as a defense .^except to the degree that the in tent necessary to establish the offense is lacking because of mental defect.” Hinckley was acquitted by reason of insanity last June in the March 30, 1981, shooting of Reagan and three others. Hinckley wrote Newsweek that the insanity defense exists in the United States because “it is a compassionate and fair country.” He said the jurors who heard his case deserved the “Congres sional Medal of Honor” for not bowing to public pressure and finding him guilty. Admitting he is disturbed by the public uproar over thejury’s verdict, Hinckley said it demon strates “the vindictive nature of many Americans.” “I can only respond with a shake of my head and the wish that society will someday show some compassion for its dis turbed outcasts,” he wrote. In his letter, Hinckley also dis cussed some of his his pretrial legal efforts. “In return for four concur rent life sentences and a parole possibility in 15 years I would have pleaded guilty,” Hinckley wrote. “Incredibly, the government turned this offer down. Even more astounding is the fact that I was not allowed to plead guilty without any sort of plea-bargain. By January of 1982, I was so tired of waiting for a trial that I wanted to plead guilty and put an end to the charade. “I was informed that this proposal was unacceptable to the judge and Justice Depart ment. So I waited and went to trial and was acquitted. The public outrage over the verdict should be directed at the gov ernment for forcing me to go to trial.” Now You Know United Press International The person who can put away four martinis at lunch and then put in a good afternoon’s work is not necessarily a legend.
