Jurors on Tuesday delivered a guilty verdict for Ryan Routh on all charges after he attempted to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club last September.
After the verdict was read, Routh reportedly appeared to try to stab himself in the neck with a pen before four U.S. Marshals restrained him.
His daughter, Sara Routh, reportedly stood up and said:
"Don’t do anything. I will get you out. What the f---, f---, he didn’t hurt anybody. This is not fair. This is all rigged – you guys are a--holes." The jury was still in the room at the time.
Routh, 59, was charged on five federal criminal counts, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearms offenses.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Jurors deliberated for several hours before returning to the court with a verdict.

That’s what it says in the second paragraph
He also tried to duct tape his scope to the intended murder weapon. He’s a half-sandwich short of a picnic.
Yep.
Yes, then he tries to defend himself in court. Thankfully he’ll be in prison forever. Or until a MAGA Bubba unalives him.
Motto of Tokyo Seppuku School
Could of done everybody a favor and stabbed himself in the neck before the trial started.
The pen1s mightier than the sword.
(Motto of William Jefferson Clinton.)
I'm sure a court appointed lawyer would have made a huge difference. Or he could have wasted $1000's paying for one to lose the case. Fed prosecutors have a 95-98% conviction rate.
Sometimes I wonder that so many people are still around, as they appear to be too stupid to breath.
They should thank God for the autonomic nervous system.
Sounds like he passed his smarts onto his spawn.
He had heard the pen is mightier than the sword. Figured he’d put that pithy saying to the test.
dang
beat This Guy to the punchline
Looks like in addition ot everything else he did, he raised a stupid, foul-mouthed daughter.
William Jefferson “Peyronie” CLinton.....curved scimitar at the ready. “Think of a thumb” as Monica L. said when questioned by her dreadful friend Linda Tripp about Willie’s Willy.
He says he’s done with his lawyers and will represent himself.
Yes, I most want to see him fail at his own defense.
We don’t know who Routh’s associates were. We never found out who Crooks in Butler, PA’s associates were. And, oh, that elusive pipe bomber unsolvable case!
You know....is there anyone in custody overseas somewhere we want home and send this asshole in their place if they’ll take home in trade? Shouldn’t dismiss out of hand. Have we done that before? Hmmm.
LOL
With a little bit of luck he’ll succeed at doing himself in once he’s back in his prison cell.
