Tight Security Plans For Hinkley Trial
John W Hinckley Jr faces jurors to decide sanity in Reagan shooting case. Ninety prospective jurors report to U S District Court as two metal detectors and a portable X ray machine guard the ornate courtroom. Police dogs and armed officers are stationed around the grey stone building amid 18 count indictment detailing charges from attempting to kill the president to carrying a pistol without a license. Hinckley, 26, has admitted the crimes but pleads insanity. He notes the security measures with irony, saying he feels like the president with his own bodyguards.
