Guilty on all charges

Fox is reporting that as soon as the verdict was read Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with his pen. One of his arguments was that he was incapable of violence.

was this televised anywhere?

I saw where he rested his case yesterday... I'd love to watch it or read transcripts.

He argued in court that he wasn't really going to assassinate the President, but that he wanted to and thought about it.



ETA: He stated the gun didn't actually work and called in a ballistics expert to testify on his behalf.

The expert fired the bullet that was already in the chamber when the police confiscated the gun during his arrest.

What an idiot.

Hearing about this for the 1st time. No pregame, no or very little chatter about from what I can tell.... almost like there's intent on covering this up.

Perfectly set up an ineffective assistance of counsel appeal.

One of his questions to potential jurors, pre trial, was " if you see a turtle in the road, would you stop & help get it off the road?" The trial judge tossed over 30+ such questions, as well as many trial witnesses' questions. He's a whacko.

It appears that the jury took 10 minutes after reviewing the exhibits to convict this guy.

He tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen when they read the verdict out loud.

He compared his cross-country journey to West Palm Beach, as well as the reconnaissance he conducted and steps he took to cover his tracks, to a lovestruck man who appears at the home of his best friend's wife but can't bring himself to knock on the door.

Anyone who is their own lawyer has a fool for a client…

Are you sure he wasn’t just firing it off in a MAGA celebration?

No cameras were allowed in court room. Reporters were allowed but could only take written notes.
