At the arraignment hearing, Ryan Routh pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump, marking a high-profile case with severe implications.
Defense attorney Kristy Militello stated that her client's inept conduct, including the use of electrical tape on his rifle, suggested his actions might have been a publicity stunt.
Routh's alleged proximity to Trump prior to the incident and his letters expressing intent to assassinate him raise significant concerns, but defense argues against the seriousness of the attempt.
Facing multiple charges, including attempted assassination and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, Routh could receive life imprisonment if found guilty on the most severe charge.
