Ryan Routh, 59, was found guilty on all charges related to an alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a golf game in Florida last year. Routh, who represented himself, faced five charges including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate. Despite never firing a shot, evidence presented by the prosecution included a "sniper's nest," cell phone records showing stalking behavior, and a detailed getaway plan. After the guilty verdict, Routh attempted self-harm and his daughter reacted emotionally. Routh faces a potential life sentence.
