Caption: Man Found Guilty of Attempting to Assassinate Trump at Florida Golf Course. Ryan Routh has been found guilty of all charges related to his attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course in 2024. After the guilty verdict, Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen, leading to swift intervention by courthouse officers. Routh’s daughter, Sara, screamed in the courtroom, protesting her father’s guilt and claiming the case was rigged. Following his outburst, Routh was dragged out of the courtroom, shackled and without his jacket, and is scheduled for sentencing on December 18. Routh, 59, had been charged with attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate and other related firearms violations. Prosecutors argued that Routh spent weeks planning the attack before targeting Trump while he played golf in West Palm Beach on September 15, 2024. In his defense, Routh claimed he didn’t intend to harm anyone and argued that a crime didn’t occur because the rifle’s trigger was never pulled. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized the importance of holding individuals accountable for political violence. Routh, who represented himself during the trial, has a history of violent behavior, including previous criminal activity involving firearms and explosives.
