US EditionAttempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh to be sentenced Wednesday
Federal prosecutors seek life imprisonment for Ryan Routh, convicted of plotting a premeditated rifle attack to prevent Trump's election, highlighting his lack of remorse, authorities said.
- U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon will preside Wednesday in Fort Pierce as prosecutors ask for a life sentence for Ryan Routh, convicted of attempting to assassinate Trump.
- Prosecutors say Routh sought military-grade weapons, including an RPG, and framed his actions as protests tied to Ukraine and U.S. politics.
- Secret Service agent Fercano testified he spotted Routh and opened fire, causing him to drop an SKS-style rifle with scope and flee in a black Nissan Xterra, where officers found multiple cell phones, a list of flights, armor plates, and extra ammunition.
- Last month, the U.S. Department of Justice asked for life, citing Routh as unrepentant and a threat, while defense attorney Martin L. Roth seeks a decades-long variance and a seven-year gun term.
- Routh represented himself at trial and, as the verdict was delivered, tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen, prompting officers to restrain and shackle him, leading the judge to move sentencing after he accepted counsel.
