Ryan Routh, found guilty of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course last year, attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen after the verdict. A jury found him guilty on all counts after two hours of deliberation. Routh, representing himself, claimed he didn't intend to kill anyone. The incident occurred on September 15, 2024, at Trump's West Palm Beach club. Prosecutors presented evidence of weeks of planning. Routh's daughter pleaded with him to stop, while the Attorney General praised the guilty verdict as a statement against political violence.
