The daughter of 59-year-old Ryan Routh, who was found guilty on Tuesday for attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign, dramatically left the courtroom after the verdict, expressing anger towards the media and issuing threats.
This incident occurred right after Routh received guilty verdicts on all counts, and reportedly attempted to harm himself with a pen several times before being subdued by four US Marshals.
Sara Routh, his daughter, reacted strongly in the courtroom, directing expletives at the jury.
“Don’t do anything. I will get you out,” Sara Routh exclaimed. “What the f—. F—. He didn’t hurt anybody. This is not fair. It’s all rigged — you guys are a**holes.”
She stormed out, insisting that the media “go away” and “get the f— out of my face.”
Ryan Routh, who served as his own attorney, faced convictions on five criminal counts. These included attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple gun-related charges.
The potential penalties for these convictions could result in a life sentence.
As Ryan Routh was leaving in a black SUV, his daughter Sara followed closely behind, repeatedly shouting, “I love you.”
Sara Routh and her brother, Adam Routh, proceeded towards their vehicle while she continued to verbally assault the press.
When a reporter asked, “Is your dad OK?” her fiery response was, “He’d better be or everybody’s f—king dead… You all can go to hell. It’s all your fault. F—king lies. Spreading lies about my f—ing father.”
Adam Routh, remaining composed amidst the chaos, guided his sister into the car.
As the press encircled the vehicle, he gestured for reporters to clear the path before driving away.
