This article was originally published  by The Epoch Times: Ryan Routh Tries to Stab Himself After Guilty Verdict in Trump Assassination Attempt Trial

In a striking courtroom scene, a Florida jury found Ryan Routh guilty on all five counts related to his attempted assassination of then-presidential nominee Donald Trump, an event that harkens a peculiar chapter in political history.

FORT PIERCE, Fla.—After being declared guilty on September 23, Routh could not contain his turmoil, reportedly attempting to stab himself with a pen within the confines of the courtroom. Officers promptly intervened to restrain him, while his daughter, Sara Routh, voiced her disbelief, shouting, “This is all rigged.”

Subsequent to this dramatic episode, Routh was escorted back into the courtroom in restraints, a stark reminder of the serious nature of his actions.

Before settling on the verdict, the jury revisited various pieces of evidence including firearms and ammunition that were central to the case, an exercise which preceded their rapid conclusion.

Routh maintained a calm demeanor as the verdict was announced but exhibited signs of distress, swaying slightly. His daughter’s voice broke the silence, vowing, “I’ll get you out, Dad, I promise.”

John Shipley, representing the Justice Department, recorded the outbursts from both Routh and his daughter during the jury’s proceedings, a detail reflecting the high emotions surrounding the trial.

Sentencing for Routh is scheduled for December 18. He had defended himself throughout the trial and was found guilty of charges that included attempted assassination of a major candidate, possession of a firearm in relation to this violent crime, and assaulting a federal officer, among others.

Former President Trump responded to the jury’s decision, praising the authorities involved. He took to Truth Social to state, “This was an evil man with evil intention, and they caught him.” He further lauded the trial’s management, offering gratitude to the judge and jury for their diligence.

Routh’s actions date back to a September day in 2024, when he allegedly positioned himself at the Trump golf club in West Palm Beach, waiting behind a chain-link fence with a semiautomatic rifle, preparing for an act that could have irrevocably changed the political landscape.

In what could be considered an indelible moment of absurdity in a trial marked by serious implications, the defendant sought to portray a narrative of “gentleness and nonviolence,” contradicting the evidence that prosecutors meticulously assembled to paint a stark picture: that of premeditated intent to harm.

Prosecutors constructed a timeline correlating Routh’s phone data with his movements leading up to the assassination attempt, effectively arguing that his stalking behavior of Trump was not mere coincidence but a calculated plan.

The culmination of deliberation happened within just over two hours after the jury began; a brief yet illuminating period suggesting a consensus on the evidence presented. Routh attempted to shift narratives during the trial, insisting, “If the intent was there, it would have happened,” though he was repeatedly cautioned by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to remain relevant to the evidence at hand.

Opening arguments had commenced nearly a year post-incident, shortly after another tragic political event—the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. In a bizarre twist of courtroom strategy, Routh had even suggested an improbable golf match with Trump as a means of defense, detailing a hypothetical scenario with wildly ambitious stakes.
