Closing arguments are set for Tuesday in the trial of Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump last year. Routh, representing himself, presented his defense Monday, calling a firearms expert and friends as witnesses. He conceded some allegations but argued he lacked the capacity to kill Trump. Judge Aileen Cannon warned Routh to confine his arguments to admitted evidence. Each side has 1 hour 45 minutes for closing arguments, followed by immediate jury deliberations. Routh faces life in prison if convicted on charges including attempted assassination.
