A 59-year-old man who attempted to kill Trump on a West Palm Beach, Florida golf club last year attempted to stab himself with a pen after jurors found him guilty of all charges on Tuesday.
The dramatic episode occurred as jurors were leaving the courtroom, when Ryan Routh snatched a pen and attempted to jab himself in the neck.
Courtroom marshals took the condemned man out of the room while his daughter, Sara Routh, yelled at him, "Dad, I love you." Don't do anything. I will get you out. He didn't hurt anyone.
‘Don’t do anything. I will get you out. What the f—, f—, he didn’t hurt anybody. This is not fair. This is all rigged – you guys are a–holes,’ the daughter was heard screaming.
The jury was still in the room at the time, FOX News reported.
The diabolical scene played out as, Routh was found guilty on all five counts, which included the attempted assassination of Trump, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer, felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
He pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer and several firearm violations, which carry a potential life sentence.
Routh was brought back into the courtroom with shackles on, minutes after the outburst to complete proceedings. He wasn’t wearing the jacket and tie from earlier and his white shirt didn’t show signs of blood.
They noted the 17 ‘reconnaissance’ trips Routh allegedly made to Trump’s golf course, and what they described as his excessive stalking of Trump, prior to the Sept. 15, 2024 incident in question.
