59岁的瑞安·劳斯（Ryan Routh）去年9月被判定犯有五项联邦刑事罪名，包括试图暗杀一名主要总统候选人、袭击联邦官员以及多项枪支犯罪。据报道，在判决宣读后，劳斯试图用钢笔刺自己的脖子，随后被四名美国法警制服。
检方在上个月提交的量刑备忘录中表示：“劳斯对其罪行毫无悔意，从未为自己危及的生命道歉，他的一生几乎完全无视法律。”他们在备忘录中主张，根据联邦量刑指南，他应该在监狱中度过余生。
劳斯的新辩护律师马丁·L·罗斯（Martin L. Roth）要求法官偏离量刑指南：在因一项枪支罪名被判处七年强制刑期的基础上，再增加20年监禁。

罗斯在一份文件中写道：“被告距离60岁还差两周。公正的惩罚应判处足够长的刑期，施加足够但不过度的惩罚，并让被告重获自由，而非在狱中死去。”
佛罗里达州圣卢西亚堡（Fort Pierce）对劳斯的量刑听证会最初定于12月举行，但美国地区法官艾琳·坎农（Aileen Cannon）同意将日期推迟，因为劳斯决定在量刑阶段聘请律师，而不是像审判大部分时间那样自行辩护。

检方称，劳斯花了数周时间策划杀害特朗普。2024年9月15日，当当时的共和党总统候选人在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩的乡村俱乐部打高尔夫球时，劳斯从灌木丛后瞄准步枪。
在劳斯的审判中，一名在高尔夫球场协助保护特朗普的特勤局特工作证说，他在特朗普出现前就发现了劳斯。劳斯将步枪对准特工，特工开枪，导致劳斯掉落武器并逃跑，未开枪。

The gunman convicted of trying to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club in 2024 is set to be sentenced Wednesday, with prosecutors pushing for a life term.
Ryan Routh, 59, was found guilty last September on five federal criminal counts, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer and multiple firearms offenses. After the verdict was read, Routh reportedly appeared to try to stab himself in the neck with a pen before four U.S. Marshals restrained him.
“Routh remains unrepentant for his crimes, never apologized for the lives he put at risk, and his life demonstrates near-total disregard for law,” prosecutors said in a sentencing memorandum filed last month in which they argued he should spend the rest of his life in prison,in accordance with federal sentencing guidelines.
Routh’s new defense attorney, Martin L. Roth, is asking the judge for a variance from sentencing guidelines: 20 years in prison on top of a seven-year, mandatory sentence for one of the gun convictions.

“The defendant is two weeks short of being sixty years old,” Roth wrote in a filing. “A just punishment would provide a sentence long enough to impose sufficient but not excessive punishment, and to allow defendant to experience freedom again as opposed to dying in prison.”
Routh’s sentencing in Fort Pierce, Fla., had initially been scheduled for December, but U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon agreed to move the date back after Routh decided to use an attorney during the sentencing phase instead of representing himself as he did for most of the trial.

At Routh’s trial, a Secret Service agent helping protect Trump on the golf course testified that he spotted Routh before Trump came into view. Routh aimed his rifle at the agent, who opened fire, causing Routh to drop his weapon and run away without firing a shot.
