Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Georgia

Judicial safeguards (e.g., the checks and balances for the release of the criminally insane into the general public) seem to be thrown under the bus in later opinions grounded in the "Hinkley" line of cases matter (especially the 1999 DC Hinkley decision) which now allows asylum or institutional medical staff to release persons previously classified as extremely dangerous back into society without any judicial oversight or court intervention or restrictions, whatsoever.

Hope that answers your question and that you ace your law exam

Caveat -- Hinkley's case was a special case fraught with high emotions on all sides

My opinion was from the cases which followed the 2012 quasi-release of Hinkley and was not intended to give legal advice as I, too, was/am very emotional about the assassination attempt on President Reagan and the carnage and media frenzy that surrounded same

Take it for what it is worth: an "emotional response" rather than a legal memo
