Nicholas Roske is preparing to plead guilty to charges of attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The incident occurred in June 2022 when Roske, armed with a handgun, knife, and zip ties, traveled from California to Kavanaugh's Maryland home. After seeing Kavanaugh's security detail, he ultimately decided against the attack, calling 911 instead. Motivated by emotional distress related to the Supreme Court's draft decision on Roe v. Wade, Roske has displayed signs of severe mental health issues, and his plea could lead to a maximum life sentence.
Roske's attorneys have stated that he was acutely suicidal at the time of his arrest and expressed a need for psychiatric care as his motivations were tied to the political climate.
I was under the delusion that I could make the world a better place by killing him, Roske confessed to authorities, revealing his disturbed mindset driven by a leaked Supreme Court draft.
