U.S. Judge Aileen Cannon on Wednesday sentenced Ryan Routh to spend the rest of his life in prison for attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump on his Florida golf course in September 2024.
Before handing down the sentence, Cannon rebuked Routh’s actions and called him an "evil" man, West Palm Beach ABC affiliate WPBF reported.
Cannon issued a life sentence plus an additional seven years in prison based on the second count of the indictment.
She also praised the actions of law enforcement and witnesses for bringing Routh to justice.
"Despite all the evil we see, there is a sliver of hope, a sliver of light,” she remarked.
Prosecutors seek life sentence for would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh
Prosecutors argued that Routh, 60, should get a life sentence after a jury last year convicted him on five counts for allegedly plotting “painstakingly to kill President Trump, and [taking] significant steps toward making that happen.”
“Routh’s crimes undeniably warrant a life sentence -- he took steps over the course of months to assassinate a major presidential candidate, demonstrated the will to kill anybody in the way, and has since expressed neither regret nor remorse to his victims,” prosecutors argued in a court filing.
After a two-and-a-half-week trial in September, a jury quickly found Routh guilty on five felony counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate and assaulting a federal officer.

Someone doesnt want this guy to talk
Or, more likely, someone thinks people shouldn’t get away with assassinating US officials because it sets a bad precedent to ask for less than life.
Unless she has skeletons in her closet, Cannon is Trump’s next SC justice.
“””Unless she has skeletons in her closet, Cannon is Trump’s next SC justice.””””
Stock up on popcorn for that confirmation hearing. How many liberal heads would explode if he nominated her?
He got life because his lawyer was a moron.
Probably a good reason not to represent yourself. Sure would like to know how the dude went from East side, Oahu, to Ukraine to a Texas golf course and all that financing and stamping of passports.
What the heck are you talking about?
Not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy ya know. Lol!
Unhinged lunatic is more like it
Of course everything is a conspiracy if it wasn’t many here wouldn’t have anything to talk about!
One Epstein, coming up!
“After a two-and-a-half-week trial in September, a jury quickly found Routh guilty on five felony counts”
Dude FAFO in the WRONG state.
First how much money does that really take if someone travels on the cheap, plus he was in a cash business and had been his entire working life (roofing, handyman), he appears to have dealt in drugs during his career, and he may have had internet followers who sent him cash, he had many internet nutty rants, and he had sold a house not long before this.
“”Unhinged lunatic is more like it”””
Yup. A lunatic who decided to be his own lawyer. FAFO
Ukraine
Recruited fools as mercenaries….who do you think runs that kind of business
Think he had no ties to Ukraine and alphabet agencies that preferred Trump not become POTUS? Longer trial and lighter sentence….Sure might have embarrassed some people down that rabbit hole..
I’d just like to know, not speculation. Will we ever know?
Probably. I’m leaning toward this but the rabbit hole needs investigation. This was wrapped up with a bow.
Too easy.
Hmmm, we’ve heard this before.
Its been true…occasionally
Yep, quick and easy.
He’ll be lucky not to develop severe suicidal thoughts
