They said you could leave the facility and go out on supervised release if you lived with your mom in 2016.

How did they get to that point?

Wow.

I understand they were considering possible release a couple of times earlier, but they found out once or twice that you were corresponding with some serial killers, which didn't exactly help your chances, right?

Hinkley received mail from Squeaky Fromm, the Charles Manson follower, now in prison for attempting to kill President Ford.

Why was Ted Bundy writing you letters?

And what about the widespread use of it and repeating it over and over?

What do you think that does?

How do you think it would have affected you, John?

Do you have any way of speculating?

If you had known that if you did this dastardly deed, no one would say your name.

Jodie Foster would not know it was you.
