Ryan Routh Convicted in Trump Assassination Plot Amid Courtroom Violence

Ryan Routh was convicted on all charges for attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign, after a jury deliberated for about two hours. Immediately following the verdict, Routh attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen, but was quickly restrained by U.S. Marshals and removed from the courtroom. His daughter, Sara Routh, vocally protested the verdict in court and accused the trial of being rigged, expressing her support for her father and condemning the media coverage. Prosecutors presented evidence that Routh had spent weeks planning the attack, including surveillance of Trump's golf course and acquiring weapons, while Routh maintained he never intended to kill anyone. He faces life imprisonment and will be sentenced in December. Despite the overwhelming evidence, Routh's family continues to support him and dispute claims made during the trial, highlighting the intense emotions surrounding the case.
