Squeaky Fromme served 34 years for trying to assassinate Gerald Ford and she never even got off a shot.Of course she also attacked another inmate with a claw hammer and briefly escaped which also added to her sentence.
Sara Moore who tried to kill Ford a couple of weeks later,and got two shots off, slightly wounding a cab driver from a richochet, got 32 years before being paroled.
So given the severity of what happened,Hinckley got off comparatively lightly.
