Fort Pierce (Florida, USA), Sept. 24 (LaPresse) – Ryan Roth, the man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course last year, tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen shortly after being found guilty on all charges.
Officers quickly surrounded him and dragged him out of the courtroom.
The jury, made up of five men and seven women, found 59-year-old Ryan Routh guilty on all counts after about two hours of deliberation. Routh now faces a possible life sentence.
The incident occurred as the jurors were leaving the courtroom following the announcement of the verdict, when Routh grabbed a pen from a desk and attempted to stab himself in the neck.
