If Travis had been found NGRI (insane), he would have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility / psychiatric hospital, as was John Hinckley, Jr. four decades ago.If he were found insane, what type of incarceration were they referring to? Would he have been eligible for parole? Would a doctor have been able to authorize his release by stating "he's taking his medication now, he will be ok"? Apologies in advance because I didn't follow this part of his story.
John Hinckley to be 'unconditionally released' 40 years after Reagan assassination attempt
September 27, 2021
John Hinckley Jr., the man who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan 40 years ago, is set to be “unconditionally released” after reaching an agreement with federal prosecutors.
He spent 35 years in the psych hospital after being found not guilty by reason of insanity of trying to assassinate Reagan in 1981.
