在策划、跟踪并伺机射击并杀害当时的前总统唐纳德·特朗普后，这名男子将在周三被判刑。他曾在特朗普位于佛罗里达西棕榈滩的高尔夫球场边缘架设狙击点，却被一名特勤局特工挫败。
瑞安·劳斯于9月在一场灾难性的自我辩护审判后被判定五项罪名成立——在此期间，他不断遭到主持审判的联邦法官艾琳·坎农的斥责。
坎农将负责确定劳斯对定罪罪名的判决，其中包括企图暗杀一名主要总统候选人。预计劳斯将在周三的法庭上反对检察官试图增加恐怖主义加重刑度以提高其刑期的请求。
“他有自己的想法，不采纳律师的建议，但他有权表达自己的任何想法和感受。”劳斯在定罪后聘请的律师马丁·罗斯告诉CNN。
罗斯表示，他的当事人周三的陈述“会很不寻常”，而且可能“只部分与案件有关”。
检察官要求坎农判处无期徒刑。
“劳斯的罪行无疑应判终身监禁——他在数月内采取行动企图暗杀一名主要总统候选人，”检察官在上个月的法庭文件中称，“劳斯表现出了以这种方式杀害任何人的意图，此后对其受害者既无遗憾也无悔意。”
在审判期间，劳斯在偏离主题或试图解释其行为（包括吸毒）时，不断被坎农打断。

失败的阴谋
根据审判中提交的证据，在2024年9月未遂暗杀特朗普之前的几周里，劳斯一直徘徊在高尔夫球场和特朗普的海湖庄园附近。他使用的一次性手机上也出现了搜索“特朗普即将举行的集会”和“棕榈滩交通摄像头”的记录。
调查人员很快发现了一封劳斯写的忏悔信，信的第一页写道：“我尽了最大努力，拿出了所有的勇气。现在该由你完成这项工作了；我将向任何能完成这项工作的人提供15万美元。”
没有迹象表明劳斯有资金支持他的悬赏。
2024年9月15日，劳斯手持一把老式苏联风格步枪，披着防弹板越过围栏，将目标锁定在特朗普高尔夫球场的第六洞——当时前总统正在相邻的球洞打球，仅几分钟路程。
一名负责在特朗普前方清场的特勤局特工发现了劳斯部分被遮挡的脸，以及从球场围栏缝隙中伸出的步枪枪管。
特工在枪口对准自己时，用手枪射击了几枪，随后躲在树后并通过无线电报告了威胁。
劳斯逃离现场，但被一名市民汤米·麦吉发现正穿过街道、上车并驶离。
麦吉在劳斯的审判中作证，记下了汽车牌照，并在当天被送往当地警方找到并拦截劳斯的地点，以指认这名未遂刺客。
在审判的交叉询问中，劳斯对麦吉说：“你是个好人。你是我的英雄。你是美国英雄。”
审判中呈现的其他证据显示，劳斯在策划逃跑，搜索诸如“前往迈阿密机场的路线”和“飞往墨西哥的航班”等关键词。
一场独特的审判与濒死结局
劳斯在案件早期就选择自我辩护，包括在审前公开法庭文件中称特朗普为“种族主义猪”，并挑战总统“进行一场殴打比赛”或打高尔夫球，还补充说“如果他赢了，他可以处决我；如果我赢了，我就得到他的职位”。
法官坎农在9月的审判中不断打断劳斯，因其在案件范围外来回跳跃。
在总结陈词时，劳斯辩称暗杀特朗普“永远不会发生”，因此“如果暗杀企图未被实施，那就不构成企图”。
仅在总结陈词中，坎农就至少打断了劳斯10次，之后陪审团审议3小时后宣布有罪判决。
当判决在公开法庭宣读时，劳斯试图用钢笔刺向自己的颈部，他的女儿在旁听席上大喊：“哦，天哪，他想自杀，他想自杀！有人阻止他，求求你们！”
他被美国法警制止。
Ryan Routh to be sentenced Wednesday for attempted assassination of Trump in 2024 at Florida golf course

After plotting, stalking and lying in wait for the right moment to shoot and kill then-former President Donald Trump, the man who set up a sniper’s nest on the edge of Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course in Florida and was thwarted by a Secret Service agent, will be sentenced Wednesday.
Ryan Routh was convicted of five counts in September after a disastrous attempt to represent himself at trial – where he was constantly reprimanded by the federal judge presiding, Aileen Cannon.
Cannon will be tasked with determining Routh’s sentence for the convicted charges, which include attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate. Routh is expected to argue in court Wednesday against prosecutors’ attempts to add a terrorism enhancement to increase his sentence.
“He’s his own man, he doesn’t follow the advice that lawyers give him, but he’s well within his rights to say whatever is on his mind and whatever is on his chest,” Martin Roth, an attorney for Routh hired after his conviction, told CNN.
Roth said that his client’s comments Wednesday “will be unusual” and likely “will only be partially about the case.”
Prosecutors are asking Cannon to impose a life sentence.
“Routh’s crimes undeniably warrant a life sentence – he took steps over the course of months to assassinate a major Presidential candidate,” prosecutors said in a court filing last month. Routh “demonstrated the will to kill anybody in the way, and has since expressed neither regret nor remorse to his victims.”
During his trial, Routh was constantly shut down by Cannon after veering into off-topic areas or potential explanations for his actions, including drug use.

The failed plot
According to evidence presented at trial, Routh had been near the golf course and Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in the weeks leading up to his thwarted assassination attempt. Burner phones used by Routh also showed searches for “Trump’s upcoming rallies” and “Palm Beach traffic cameras.”
In a letter quickly uncovered by investigators, Routh had written a confession of his attempt to assassinate Trump, writing on the first page: “I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”
There’s no indication Routh had the money to fund his offer.
Armed with an old, Soviet-styled rifle and protected by armored plates hanging over the fence, Routh set his sights on the sixth hole of Trump’s golf course on September 15, 2024, with the former president playing a round of golf one hole back, just minutes away.
A Secret Service agent, tasked with clearing the area ahead of Trump, spotted Routh’s partially obscured face and the barrel of a rifle sticking through the chain-linked fence bordering the course.
With the gun pointed at him, the agent fired several shots from his pistol before taking cover behind a tree and radioing in the threat.
Routh fled the scene but was spotted by a citizen, Tommy McGee, crossing the street, getting into a vehicle and driving away.
McGee, who testified at Routh’s trial, took down the license plate of the car and was later flown that same day to where local authorities located and stopped Routh to identify the would-be assassin.
During his cross-examination at trial, Routh told McGee, “You’re a good man. You’re my hero. You’re an American hero.”
Other evidence presented at trial showed Routh plotting his getaway, searching terms like “Directions to Miami airport” and “flights to Mexico.”
A unique trial and near-deadly end
Routh chose to represent himself early on in his case, including through public court filings before trial where he called Trump “a racist pig” and challenged the president to “a beatdown session” or a round of golf, adding that if “he wins he can execute me, I win I get his job.”
Judge Cannon continually stopped Routh during September’s trial, as he jumped around in territory outside the bounds of the case.
During closing arguments, Routh argued the assassination of Trump was “never going to happen” and therefore “if the attempted assassination was not taken, it is not an attempt.”
Cannon interrupted Routh at least 10 times in his closing arguments alone, after which a jury convened for 3 hours before announcing the guilty verdict.
Once the verdict was read in open court, Routh attempted to stab himself in the neck with a pen as his daughter yelled from the audience, “Oh my god, he’s trying to kill himself, he’s trying to kill himself! Someone stop him, please!”
He was stopped by deputy US Marshals.
