[Ryan Routh]，这名2024年在佛罗里达州高尔夫球场试图暗杀特朗普总统的男子，已被判处终身监禁。
这一判决于周三在联邦法院听证会上宣布。主持听证会的是艾琳·坎农法官，她去年曾驳回对特朗普先生的机密文件案。
佛罗里达州一个陪审团在9月裁定，59岁的Routh犯有暗杀未遂后被指控的五项重罪中的所有罪名。这些罪名包括一项针对主要总统候选人的暗杀未遂罪，另一项针对袭击联邦官员的罪名，以及多项非法持有枪支罪。他的大多数定罪的最高刑期为15年或更长。
Routh在刑事审判中自行辩护，其辩护混乱且时而激动，在陪审团宣布判决时，他显然试图用钢笔自残。他在量刑阶段被指派了一名律师。
他的律师在周三听证会前的法庭文件中，基于Routh的年龄、心理健康状况以及他在案件辩护中的无效表现，请求法官判处27年徒刑。文件称，Routh“声称，由于他无法有效对抗证人、使用证据或主动提出旨在证明他没有伤害任何人意图的弹劾证据，陪审团被误导”，并指出他反对将其行为定性为“联邦恐怖主义犯罪”。
与此同时，检察官认为Routh的罪行“无疑应判处终身监禁”，在另一份文件中表示，“他在数月内采取步骤暗杀一名主要总统候选人，表现出以这种方式杀害任何人的意愿，并且此后对其受害者既无悔恨也无悔意。”
Routh于2024年9月在特朗普先生的西棕榈滩高尔夫俱乐部被捕。一名美国特勤局特工在Routh的审判中作证说，他在特朗普先生（当时是共和党总统候选人）之前看到Routh在该物业上。特工朝他开枪后，Routh瞄准特工并掉落武器，未开枪就逃跑了。

Ryan Routh sentenced to life in prison in Trump 2024 assassination attempt in Florida

[Ryan Routh], the man convicted of attempting to assassinate President Trump at his Florida golf course in 2024, has been sentenced to life in prison.
The sentence came down Wednesday during a federal court hearing. It was presided over by Judge Aileen Cannon, who dismissed the classified documents case against Mr. Trump last year.
A Florida jury in September found Routh, 59, guilty of all five felony charges that had been brought against him after the assassination attempt. They included one for attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate, another for assaulting a federal officer and multiple counts of unlawful firearm possession. Most of his convictions carried maximum sentences of 15 years, or more, in prison.
Routh represented himself during the criminal trial, delivering a confusing and at times dramatic defense that culminated in him apparently trying to harm himself using a pen when the jury announced its verdict. He was appointed an attorney for the sentencing.
The attorney had sought a reduced sentence for Routh while prosecutors pushed for life in prison.
In a court filing ahead of Wednesday’s hearing, Routh’s attorney asked the judge for a sentence of 27 years based on Routh’s age, mental health status and the fact that he ineffectively defended his case. The filing said Routh “asserts that the jury was misled by his inability to effectively confront witnesses, use exhibits or affirmatively introduce impeachment evidence designed to prove his lack of intent to cause injury to anyone,” and noted that he objected to the classification of his actions as a “federal crime of terrorism.”
Prosecutors, meanwhile, had argued that Routh’s crimes “undeniably warrant a life sentence,” saying in a separate filing that “he took steps over the course of months to assassinate a major Presidential candidate, demonstrated the will to kill anybody in the way, and has since expressed neither regret nor remorse to his victims.”
Routh was arrested in September 2024 at Mr. Trump’s West Palm Beach golf club. A U.S. Secret Service agent who testified at Routh’s trial said that he saw Routh on the property before Mr. Trump, then the Republican presidential candidate. Routh aimed his rifle at the agent but dropped the weapon and fled without firing any shots once the agent opened fire in his direction, according to the testimony.
