The man who shot Alabama Gov. George Wallace during a presidential campaign stop in 1972 was released Nov 9, 2007 from a Maryland prison. Authur Bremer shot Gov. Wallace on Laurel, Md. Wallace who was paralyzed and abandoned his bid for the presidency, died in 1998, twenty five years after the assassin attempt. Mr. Bremer was 21 at the time and testified that his motive was to become a celebrity. He was sentenced to 53 years and served 35. Mr. Brenner appears to be the first and only assassin to become a free man although I fear more assassins like Sirhan Sirhan, Mr. Hinckley, Mark David Chapman, Lynette Fromme, Sara Jane Moore will be released because of their age and the perceived notion that these people are harmless.
