Trump’s Attempted Assassin Found GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS

The aspiring assassin who hid on the golf course for some nine hours was convicted yesterday on five counts, including the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate.

The trial of Ryan Wesley Routh came to a dramatic end Tuesday when he tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen after a Florida jury found him guilty of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump last year on a golf course. Sadly, he failed.

Ryan Routh, the madman who holed up in a sniper’s nest with an assault rifle at one of President Trump’s golf courses, tried to stab himself with a pen in a Florida courtroom Tuesday after he was convicted of attempting to assassinate the then-GOP nominee. A dramatic scene unfolded as jurors were leaving the courtroom when Routh took a pen and started trying to jab himself in the neck. Courtroom marshals sprung to action and dragged him out of the room as his daughter, Sara Routh, screamed at her father. “Dad I love you. Don’t do anything. I’ll get you out. He didn’t hurt anybody,” the daughter yelled (New York Post).

Wall Street Journal:

A Florida federal jury found Routh guilty of five criminal counts, including the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate. He faces up to life in prison. The defendant made the unusual decision of representing himself at the trial, which took place over more than two weeks…. On the day of the attempted assassination, Routh hid for hours along the sixth hole of a Trump golf course. He had a rifle with him, as well as bulletproof shielding that could withstand fire from law-enforcement agents, prosecutors said. He also had a camera pointed at the location he expected to shoot the president, they said…. Secret Service agent Robert Fercano testified at the trial that he spotted Routh, confronted him and saw he had a rifle. “At that moment in time when I had recognized that this was a barrel of a weapon pointed at my face, I was in fear for my life, I was in fear for the life of the shift on the course, and I was in fear for President Trump’s life,” Fercano testified. Fercano shot at Routh, who fled the course but was later captured (Wall Street Journal).

Ryan Routh stabbed himself in the neck in court after the verdict.

It was a good day.
