Event Summary

Federal prosecutors are seeking a life sentence for Ryan Routh, who was convicted of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump on a Florida golf course in September 2024. Ryan Routh is scheduled to appear before U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for sentencing. During the trial, a United States — United States Postal Service agent testified that he spotted Ryan Routh before Donald Trump came into view and opened fire, causing Ryan Routh to drop his weapon and flee without firing a shot. Ryan Routh's sentencing was delayed after he decided to use an attorney, Martin L. Roth, who is requesting a variance from the federal sentencing guidelines, proposing a 27-year prison sentence instead of life. Prosecutors argue that Ryan Routh remains unrepentant for his crimes.
