"Now it is quite shocking as the verdict was read, it appeared to our producers inside the courtroom that Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen. That's what it appeared to look like. Then four marshals dragged him out of the courtroom, took his coat off; they then shackled him at the waste and ankles, and they brought him back into the courtroom."
"He is now facing a maximum sentence of life in prison for attempting to kill President Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course in September 2024. Fox News also reported Routh's daughter, Sara, had an outburst in the court following the verdict. Don't do anything. I will get you out. What the f*ck, f*ck, he didn't hurt anybody. This is not fair. This is all rigged you guys are as*holes, she yelled."
"Routh was arrested on Sept. 15, 2024, when he was spotted by a Secret Service agent with a sniper rifle. The attempted assassination came just months after the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler, PA., which led to the death of rally attendee Corey Comperatore. The Secret Service agent who found Routh took one shot at him, before Routh ran away and jumped into a black Nissan Xterra."
Ryan Routh is a 59-year-old man who was found guilty on five charges of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. He attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen in the courtroom minutes after the guilty verdict; marshals removed his coat, shackled him at the waist and ankles, and returned him to the courtroom. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison for the September 2024 attempt at Trump's West Palm Beach golf course. Routh was arrested Sept. 15, 2024, after a Secret Service agent spotted him with a sniper rifle and fired one shot before he fled into a black Nissan Xterra and was later stopped on I-95. Investigators linked Routh through eyewitness testimony, physical and digital evidence, and a letter he had given months earlier. His daughter, Sara, shouted during the courtroom verdict and then left the scene.
