the world's most beautiful women, sandra bullock at the top of the list. who's the most beautiful you know? my mother-in-law. oh wow. well that's a good one. she did survive world war ii proud american and i thought you were trying to get good time with her as well. all right. great show today everybody, let's go down now to shep. high stakes game of chicken unfolding in yemen. iranian ships reportedly loaded with weapons and still on the move. despite a flew tell la of u.s. navy ships. what's the ending game here? and who blinks first? terror attack in a major western city reportedly thwarted just moments before the suspect planned to open fire on churches. and wait until you hear how this thing came to an end. plus a high school student who lost everything in superstorm sandy, accepted to all ivy league schools to which she applied. she'll be live with us from the

news deck. what did you do today? let's get to it. now, live from fox news channel, shepard smith reporting. and good afternoon, from our studios in oxford, mississippi, and first from fox this afternoon. some very scary moments in the sky as passenger blacks out at 35,000 feet. it sparked fears that the cabin lost pressure. as the pilots dropped the jet down to a level where people could breathe. it happened on a united airlines flight operated bay commuter jet company called skywest. it was one of those small regional jets like this one. the flight was headed from chicago to hartford connecticut. the airline reports the passenger lost consciousnd and crew members what might be a loss of pressure. they made a safe emergency landing in buffalo. not before terrifying moments for people on board. the pilot quickly took the plane down to a safe level. according to the flight tracking site flight aware, that jet

dropped close to 7,000 feet in about a minute. that's three times the normal dissent rate. now word from the airline is there may have been have been a pressure problem at all. what about the reports about the problem with the door trace? >> they said there was no problem at all with the door that report was not accurate but in its latest message, skywest didn't mention anything about losing cabin pressure and the faa has confirmed that the pilot did report a pressurization problem and did declare an emergency. and as you just touched on there, the plane needed to get from 35,000 feet down to below or around 10,000 feet. so, the patsz passengers could breathe normally. when you're descending that fast it can be a wild flight. we spoke to someone when the plane arrived, he said all the passengers got off safely but

he would not release any further details. the faa just told us they will issue a brand new statement momentarily when we get that shep we will pass it along. >> man trace, you lose pressure at cruising altitude and you have to work fast. >> yeah most planes are pressurized to about 8,000 feet above sea level. that automatically lowers the amount of oxygen in your blood, but most healthy people would never really notice it. as the plane loses pressure the first thing that happens as you start to get high pox ya your brain gets sluggish. you lose decision-making ability then eventually fall asleep and die. now the pilots have a large amount of oxygen on hand to use and the passengers have a smaller amount. again, the goal is to get the plane to whatever the altitude to down to below 10,000 feet. sometimes it's better to lose cabin pressure faster than slower because when it happened slowly you don't know it's happening. and that can be very dangerous.

shep. >> very dangerous indeed. trace gallagher, live thanks. fox urgent now, remember day before yesterday, the war was on in yemen, the saudi arabian jets were there, they were bombing american ships were on the way. then all the sudden saudi arabia said nope that part's over. we're going to negotiate now. brand new and just into fox news channel, the war is back on just moments ago. the saudi said they will continue to use force to stop the iran-backed rebels known as the houthis. this comes after they claimed the strikes were over even though they countied a few hours later. all that as word that the united states warships are hot on the trail of an iranian convoy. in what's become a proxy war, really between the saudis and iran with the united states backing saudi arabia. first though the scene on the ground saudi-led fighter jets today bombed rebels in the south of yemen, as heavy fighting

continued in the streets there. we reported here yesterday that saudi officials claim they stopped the strikes because they had achieved their goal. their military goals against the iranian-backed fighters. but those officials also said the mission was entering a new phase, so presumably new goals. it's not clear if the strikes are back on for good or if they're part of the so-called new phase or something else. the truth is we can't get the straight on what's happening. meantime the drama is also playing out at sea with the united states vessels taking on a crucial role. pentagon source now telling fox news that a convoy of iranian ships believed to be carrying weapons to the rebels is still, quote, trucking along. defense officials say the american ships are part of a mission to stop the convoy from delivering suspected weapons. how do you do that? i mean they've said we're not going to go throughout and board iranian ships. what if they just pull up to sport and start undoing them? what do you do then? did the military conflict begin there? don't forget we have close to

10,000 american military personnel on nine ships, plus three supply ships. 10,000 people and no it's fine. everything's fine. it's fine. we're just here it's routine. maureen hart they were just quietly moving. just repositioning. go back. i mean she didn't give us any details, but the acting spokesman said that the idea that the united states might intercept was blatantly untrue. that they were there only to keep shipping lanes open. earlier today, the white house communications director said that the united states has a bunch of options, and officials will not predict what might happen. >> we always have contingency plans, that's what the united states does. we have the best military in the world, but we also don't get ahead of predicting or laying out what we may or may not do. we're watching this closely, we're monitoring this closely. >> sure. >> we have a range of abilities,

but we're not going to predict what will happen. our hope is this can deescalate. >> that's the strategy? the strategy is hope. the strategy is according to the state department spokeswoman, we hope that things will just calm down. we have a strategy of hope and our ships, aircraft carrier right there in the region and close to 10,000 united states military personnel and the strategy today as laid out by the state department is hope. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon. where is this iranian convoy now? >> well shep we just spoke to u.s. navy officials who tell us that the iranian convoy which consists of nine vessels, seven cargo ships and two iranian navy frijts remains under way off the coast of yemen near the border with oman. it's moving slowly at six knots. and the uss theodore roosevelt

continues to trail behind and launching aircraft to provided visual convoys. any reports suggesting the iranian convoy has gone to yemen is false. the egyptians in saudi still control the ports there, shep. the u.n. secretary general condemned them today. the saudis are conducting a press conference right now at the embassy in washington. that's where we heard from the saudi ambassador. they plan to continue carrying out strikes and using force against the houthis, shepard. >> aside from the hope strategy what do u.s. officials say they're going to do next? >> at this point, these u.s. warships are trailing the suspected armed shipment. the u.s. has intelligence that iran is delivering rockets and other lethal weapons to the houthis. it's not the first time the u.s. has intercepted iranian weapons. they did so in 2013 with the yemenis. in this case we are told by

u.s. officials the u.s. would not likely be the ones to board the ships, they would likely leave that to the egyptians. also today at the state department spokesman marie harp again trying to explain what she meant yesterday by calling the theodore roosevelt discreet. >> now that the pentagon has sent the discreet aircraft carrier -- >> i think we were using discreet in different words yesterday, but go ahead. our transcribers had some questions about the transcript. >> whatever she meant, shep it is clear from talking to u.s. officials today, that the u.s. does not want anything to interfere with the nuclear talks taking place with iran in geneva shepard. >> questions about the transcript. we have the video from the program yesterday, the discreet movement of 10,000 -- aircraft -- what? >> she says she meant discreet she said she meant discrete.

meaning a separate issue. it doesn't make sense. >> maybe she was talking about the children playing in discreet. maybe that was it. >> we'll pose that tomorrow. >> we now have two things confirmed thanks to the spokes people. it was discreet movement and the strategy's hope. so i feel much better. let's bring in phillip mud now, he's a former deputy director of the cia counter terrorism center. he's also author of a book the head game. this would be hilarious if it weren't so serious. >> yeah. >> the fact remains that we have this discreet war armada that's wandering around well it is and it's in the middle it's in the middle of a war, a war between iranian-backed rebels and -- please make me feel better than the discreet hope. >> i can't make you feel better. i think we've got a simple

situation here and that is we're in a circus. there's three rings here. there is one big ring. that's nuclear talks. there's a couple others that's things like shia militia in iraq which makes us as americans uncomfortable. i think there are people saying at the white house as i might say, as others might say, look there's one ring in this circus we're paying attention to. and that is the nuclear circus. the other side shows, what's happening with the iraqi militia, what's happening with houthis should not divert the conversation about nuclear. the strategy here is seeming simple, we don't to want mess with the talks by interrupting the iranians. >> if i'm a military family or one who cares about american security and the young men and women who fight and die for us i'd be a little concerned that we have thousands and thousands of people on ships, with a repositioning, discreet repositioning goal in the middle

of a clear conflict where the iranians according to the people who tell us about discreet and hope are trying to move weapons into these rebels. and we know that they've told us they now have the possibility of shoulder fired missiles that knock a saudi jet out of the air. there's a lot of hope resting, and all you need is one mistake. i mean if they fire at us we fire back at them right. then that's what we have. that's called conflict. >> that's right. i think there's a couple basic questions you have here as the tension rises. number one is if we want to do an interception as was mentioned a couple minutes ago. do we want to do the interception ourselves? would we get somebody else to do it like the egyptians? second would be we can watch that offloading and when those ships get to the port to see if they're carrying weapons. i could see calling the saudis and say take a shot. take it out. the one question i'd have though shepard, pretty significant and nobody's talking

about it. that is the difference between intelligence and facts. if i were the intelligence guy going to the white house, and i've been to the white house a thousand times on intelligence issues. i would want to be darn sure that whoever says we know what's on those ships before we put america on the line and stop a ship is a weapon and not humanitarian supplies. because what we think is on those ships is a big gap between what we know. i've been in these situations where an analyst says i'm sure there's weapons on there, and sure means 70 80%, i want 100%. that's tough to get in intelligence. >> well we have discreet hope. you know everything's going to be fine. >> everything will be fine. thank you. >> you know everything i don't think we're targets near oxford thankfully but you worry sometimes. the mother of the first navy seal killed in iraq says she is devastated after comments from the nation's top military officer. she says he dishonored her son's sacrifice in the war. the joint chiefs of chairman

investigators say the man is an al jeer yan student who had lived in france for several years. he shot himself apparently by accident then called for an ambulance. police say when they got there, they discovered a trail of blood leading to his car which contained those loaded guns and notes about potential targets. the man's reportedly still in the hospital. officials say he's also a suspect in the shooting of a woman earlier in the day in paris. they say her body turned up in a car. of course france has been on edge since the attacks onltd satirical newspaper "charlie hebdo" and kosher supermarket back in january. 20 people you'll remember died including the three gunmen. america's top military officer personally apologized to the mother of the first navy seal killed in the war in iraq. he died in 2006 in ra ma da. his mother said the joint chiefs of staff chairman trivialized the city in the battle against islamic state. general dempsey made this

comment last week, as iraqi forces were fighting for control. >> the city itself is not symbolic in any way, its not been declared, you know part of the calliphate on one hand or central to the future of iraq. >> not symbolic at any way. leah gabriel has the followup leah. >> i spoke with the gold star mom, debbie lee over skype today, she wrote him a letter after hearing him speak. here's how she described feeling after she heard his comments listen. >> i was just like devastated how could the general who's in charge of all the branchs of the military make a statement like that? he of anybody else should know the amount of blood that was shed on that soil. >> well to put it in perspective, ra ma i did became the center of late 2004 while there are no official numbers, according to senator john mccain, 180 u.s. service members died and more than 1,150

were injured there. general dempsey apologized to lee in writing saying her son mark and comrades won their fight and quote, nothing will diminish their accomplishments nor the honor in which we hold their service. he personally called lee. she says that general dempsey explained that it wasn't important to isis. in his letter he said quote, we are in a different fight with a different enemy. while she does not agree, in fact she believes that isis is the same enemy, but with a different name. she does appreciate and accepts his apology. >> for me it was better than i could have expected or hoped for that the message did get across to general dempsey, and he did say he's going to need to have to, you know restructure his language when he speaks. and i'm proud of him for stepping up and making the apology. >> now those who work closely with general dempsey say he cares deeply about those who have served and the service members lost.

in fact he keeps moe mentos of them on his desk and pocket at all times. debbie lee tells me she recently learned this and it's meaningful for her. the mother of an american hero and someone who cares about all of our service members. >> yeah leah gabriel, tough one, thank you very much. make of following the story of a man in baltimore who died after his spine nearly snapped in half while he was in custody of police. that's according to the family's lawyer. relatives are now demanding answers. and the feds are launching their own investigation to try to figure out what happened. you may have seen the protest erupting in the city of baltimore as that city on edge with lots of questions. so we'll ask judge napolitano about this case, and that's next.

live look now at the florida everglades. the president is speaking in the swampy wetlands to mark earth day. that's today. the white house says the president shows to -- chose to go to the everglades today because the wetlands are under many different environmental threats. which they have been for many years. they include rising sea levels as well as invasive species taking over such as pythons, that's our fault. you may not believe in global warming, but the dropping of the pythons in the everglades that is human. they did not fly there. you can see president obama's earth day speech streaming live on foxnews.com. click over to the website and you can watch and listen right now. first here on the news channel, feds opening a civil rights investigation into the man who died in police custody in baltimore. the family's lawyer says his spine was severed 80% at the neck. his name was freddie gray. about a week ago, cops arrested him after officers say he

quote, made eye contact with them unquote. and then started running. so clearly two capitol offenses made eye contact and ran while black. it happened in the neighborhood where a lot of drug deals take place. according to court documents they found a switchblade in his pocket after they stopped him for the crime of looking at them. we have images of the arrest. in the video itself you can hear freddie gray scream and the man recording the video says after they tase you like that you wonder why he can't use his legs. cops then drag him into a police van and he appears to be fine. police say the ride lasted about 30 minutes. and when it was over well he would die later. the commissioner the police kmegser says at one point -- commissioner says at one point he was shackled because he was irate, unquote. gray asked for an inhaler and several times requested medical

care before cops then eventually rushed him to a hospital. here's a picture of freddie gray before he died last sunday. you can see, he's hooked up to all sorts of tubes. police say they are also trying to piece together what happened that day. >> we will be looking specifically at our actions from the point that we came into contact with mr. gray up until the time that we requested medical assistance specifically did we miss any warnings should we have acted sooner? >> police chief claims cops did not use excessive force, but he suspended six officers with pay. one of our producers interviewed the dead man's attorney. he says that family members welcomed the justice department's investigation. they just want the truth. >> the man who didn't deserve it was horribly injured and died because he had an 80% severance of his spinal cord, and a broken

neck. how do you explain that? there's no explanation. >> that was ten days ago. he died ten days ago, and they still can't figure out what happened in the van. meantime more than 1,000 protesters gathered just yesterday after word got out that the feds were launching an investigation. the protests were mostly peaceful. the group rallied at the site of gray's arrest and marched chanting black lives matter and no justice, no peace. let's bring in fox news senior judicial analyst, andrew napolitano. the police say this began with two things looking at them and running. >> well clearly this was an unlawful and unconstitutional arrest, shep since neither of those acts even those acts taken together constitute the basis for an arrest. we don't know why he was chased by the place, we don't know why he was arrested and we don't know officially what happened to him while he was in custody. but let me suggest to you, it is

unusual for the justice department to enter a case like this before the local authorities have and i think that the reason the justice department has done so is not only because of the racial implications here the decedent is black and not all of the cops are, but because the local government the local prosecutors have had ten days as you just pointed out, to reveal a cause of death, and to file charges against these cops and they have done neither. the decedent's autopsy is completed, he is dead and buried the toxicology tests should be completed by now, and silence from the local government. hence, the answering of the feds. >> than silence or similar silence in other cities has caused a big problem. you would think that maybe there would be some advice for them, you know coming before the feds come in and investigate. maybe just a little transparency i don't know. it seems appropriate. >> well baltimore's a big city. it's an old town it has had

many racial experiences, and has a large and professional police force, and a medical examiner that has all the tools it needsle to address as the police department has its own legal team why there is this silence inviting the feds to come in i don't know. but the entry of the feds does not bode well for these police officers as defendants because the feds will indict for many things many crimes that the local authorities do not have available to them and the punishment for those crimes are probably more severe than the punishment for anything the locals can indictment for. look for this to be accelerated soon shep whether the locals do anything or not. >> that makes sense, judge napolitano with us from new york judge, thanks. think about it he was looking at them then he ran, then they took him, put him in a van, and when he got out of the van, his spine was severed 80% at the

neck. when he died. after looking and bolting. the feds say they now know who's responsible for that flash crash in the market a few years ago. remember the one that sent the stock market plunging like 1,000 points in like 45 minutes. how'd the guy do it? and wait until you hear how much the fed said he made from the illegally manipulating the market tanking the thing in 45 minutes. i wonder what that pays. better than the slots in atlantic city. plus a man broke out a prison nearly 40 years ago now. and cops say he's decided to go back to prison. and they say it's not because he's feeling guilty at all. so why would you want to go back to prison after 40 years after breaking out? those things are ahead as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news from shepard smith reporting.

so in case you suddenly feel like it's a good idea to call the irs, probably just don't bother because the agency will

most likely not pick up the phone. that's according to a new report by republicans on the house ways and means committee. that committee found that the irs hung up on more than eight million tax payers this filing season. of those who did get through, only two of five callers actually managed to speak to a human being. but lots of them had to wait on hold for more than 30 minutes. report accuses the irs of taking millions of dollars from tax payers services and other areas to pay for the health care law. at a hearing today, the irs commissioner blamed it all on budget cuts of more than a billion dollars over the past five years, no matter how bad it gets never be as bad as the cable company. remember the flash crash in the stock market back in 2010? the dow plummeted like 1,000 points in the course of 45 minutes or so. well five years gone now, and officials have arrested the man they say triggered that crash. it turns out, he's a trader who lives in the united kingdom. officials want to extradite him to the united states to put him

up on charges. we have pictures of his home outside london. the feds filed their criminal complaint in illinois because they say he illegally manipulated markets. the trader made $40 million and stunned many financial reporters and analysts. >> look at this market it continues to slide, jim, it is now minus 868 right now, that's below 10,000 now. it's into -- we have a four digit market now after having a five digit market for a long time. >> reporting back in the day on the fox business network. the dow went down 600 points in five minutes that day. it was crazy. it eventually did rebound, but investors still seemed pretty spooked. that trader i mentioned faces charges of wire fraud, ka mod i dids fraud, and market manipulation. if convicted, he could sit in prison for the rest of his life. geri willis is with us now, 4:00

in oxford on the fox business network, how does one guy with a computer bring down the whole dang thing? >> that's a great question. he was usingeing a souped up computer to do this. if you've ever played poker, you're going to understand how he did this. we call it bluffing they have another word for it but this is what trade doers. they place big bets, them out there and before they're ready to take action snatch them back the markets move in between that and the bad guy makes money off of that. i have to tell you, it's illegal what this guy did. they made spoofing illegal since then. if you remember that day, we left $1 trillion worth of value on the stock market that day. some high profile stocks went down to a penny. it was super scary, five years later now, people are saying that maybe more than just this guy was actually involved. there may be more shoes to drop. >> what more do we know about this man from the united kingdom? >> well so from the reports i'm

reading, he's living with mom and dad. and the suburb he's in is called hounds low, if you've ever driven through the airport outside of london you know this neighborhood because you drive right by it. now, as part of the terms of his being set free on bail can't use a computer and he's got to be in that house at all times. but again, i think there are a lot of people out there who are waiting for more shoes to drop. they're trying to extradite him back to chicago, he is fighting it. this could be a long, long story, shep. >> sounds like it. geri willis we'll see you in less than a half hour. fugitive who escaped from prison nearly four decades ago turned himself in. why? why would he to want go back to prison? he says it's because he needs a doctor. that's according to a sheriff in kentucky. this man is now 66 years old, his name is clarence moore, busted out of prison in charlotte in 1976.

the sheriff says clarence moore called him up on monday and is like hey, i broke out of jail, i need to go back to jail. they arrested him after they did confirm his story. neighbors say the man has diabetes and recently had a stroke which left him partially paralyzed, but he could not get the health care he needed since he'd lived with a bogus identity and didn't have a valid social security card. now officials in north carolina tell us they expect him back in prison within weeks. mike tobin's joining us now. what's all this about? all of this was about getting health care? >> yeah. and franklin county sheriff says he thought someone was pranking him when he first got the call from this fugitive of 39 years. when he arrived at the home of 66-year-old clarence david moore, he found him partially paralyzed and unable to take care of himself. the sheriff says moore was crying at the time and said he was just exhausted from a life on the run. >> he was very emotional. and you know was, i think glad

to get it all behind him. >> now neighbors in kentucky knew him as ronny dickerson, a frail little bearded guy who was kind but kept to himself. the woman he lived with didn't know his real identity. he is getting his health care by the the way. he was taken to the hospital before being taken to the franklin county jail and now has a jailhouse nurse looking in on him. he's due for extradition within 48 hours. >> how'd he get out in the first place? >> well he didn't get it right the first time. it took him a few tries. first busted now the '71, caught within a few hours. he stayed in jail for about a year prison for about a year and busted out again and stayed out until 1975 it was in 1976 before jimmy carter was in office that he broke out and stayed out for a long time. he stayed out until he got sick and made that phone call shep. >> all right, mike tobin on the guy going back to jail. high school student has gone from losing her home and just about everything to getting into nearly every ivy league school

♪ that story of the day now. a high school student got into seven ivy league schools after super storm sandy forced her out of her home. a fire and flooding destroyed "the daily share" ya daria rose's home in 2012. that was her sophomore year then. no home family spent more than a year staying in hotels or her grandmother's house. through it all, she just kept studying. stayed focussed and refused to give up her dream of going to college. now she has options. daria rose is on the deck back in new york today, and the only reason i'm sorry i'm not in new york today is that i'm not getting to meet you. you've been through so much then you apply to 14 schools and

all 14 said sure we'd love to have you. >> it was unbelievable shep. >> how did you do that? >> um i really i always knew i wanted to go to the best institutions that the world had to offer. and even after the storm i still had that resolve. and when it came time for senior year i was going to go for it. >> you know sandy came as a blow to everybody. and as one who travels around the country a good bit, i'm positive that people outside of our region don't know how bad it was. they can't know. but that kind of stress on somebody young and in difficult positions and school and the rest that can be debilitating how did you overcome that? >> it was definitely hard. it was devastating, but with the help of my family and my friends, my teachers at school everyone rallied around me and supported me #100%.

my family was just always there. even when i had to study, they would not to like be quiet in the small hotel rooms. my school was there for me. they let me use the printers and stuff. and my friends were just so supportive. >> you had to do the work. because you don't get into seven ivy league schools by coasting no matter how smart you are. i'm just curious, aside from all the help and that's great you had it, how did you have the wherewithal to stay focussed on your goal? >> um i really really i know education is the most important thing, and i love learning and i love books, and i really threw myself into that. it was kind of a distraction for me at that point. when i was staying in the hotels that's when i got involved with my extracurricular activities i would stay after school and not to want go back. that's when i really became like involved and i thrived in that. >> well you have decisions to make now. it's down to three schools, is

that right? >> yeah it's harvard, yale and princeton. >> wow. and you have goals about what you're going to be studying and what you want to learn about. tell us that. >> i want to major in political science. and minor in russian literature. so those are my -- >> and you don't have a cinch yet for which school is the best fit for you? >> i love all of them. they're all so great. i'm happy i'm going to be on the northeast so i won't be that far from my family but i'm just going to visit them all now, and try to see where i fit in best. >> well it's great to meet you and my guess is you're about to crush it. congratulations, you're an inspiration. so proud of you. i hope it goes terrific. i'd love to hear from you in a few years. >> definitely thank you for having me shep. >> all right. appreciate it thanks. well from that to this. remember we've all heard about how dzhokhar tsarnaev the surviving bombing suspect, or

actually convicted now in the boston bombing, how he flipped off the camera and basically the court? well we're seeing that video, prosecutors just showed it to the jurors during the sentencing phase which is ongoing for the boston bomber. the video shows dzhokhar tsarnaev flipping off the camera in his jail cell. happened a few months after the boston marathon attacks that were two years ago. so something like 22 months ago. prosecutors say that gesture proved that he has no remorse for the bombing. defense attorneys argue that dzhokhar tsarnaev's older brother, tamerlan pressured him into going along with the bombings. the jury that convicted tsarnaev is the same jury that's going to decide whether he'll live or die. if they do not sentence him to execution, he will spend the rest of his life in prison. there will be no chance for patrol. he will go to prison and he will die in prison. he's going to die either way. massachusetts is very much an against the death penalty state, some of the victims and victim's family members have said that they don't want him put to

death. it's the jury's to decide and that process will take a few weeks. dzhokhar tsarnaev flipping off the camera as he did to well the whole nation. the news continues in a moment, we'll be right back. house... it's a full day for me, and i love it. but when i started having back pain my sister had to come help. i don't like asking for help. i took tylenol but i had to take six pills to get through the day. so my daughter brought over some aleve. it's just two pills, all day! and now, i'm back! aleve. two pills. all day strong, all day long. and for a good night's rest, try aleve pm for a better am. ♪ miranda: ♪ i got red dirt stains on my boots and jeans. ♪ ♪ calloused fingers from my guitar strings. ♪ ♪ wild like the wind in the tall pine trees. ♪

i don't know about you. thank you, sir. the man who tried to kill president ronald reagan to impress the actress jodie foster is asking a judge to please let me go free. lawyers for john hinckley jr. argued today he is no longer dangerous. but prosecutors say he is still a risk and keep tabs on him. john hinckley jr. was 25 years old when he shot president reagan in washington more than three decades ago. the bullet punctured one of the president's lungs and barely missed his heart. the shooting did paralyze james brady from the waist down. a jury later found hinckley not guilty by reason of insanity. over the years he has gradually earned more and more freedom. right now he can leave the mental hospital for 17 days every month. but attorneys for hinckley says the judge should release him full-time into his mother's custody at her home in virginia. his lawyer says the doctors consider his risk for violent behavior to be low. but prosecutors say he has a history of lying to those
