Assassin Attempt Falls Flat

A federal judge will decide Wednesday whether Ryan Routh, the guy who tried to off Donald Trump, deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars. It’s not like Routh’s attempt was exactly sophisticated – he didn’t even succeed. Still, you’ve got to wonder what goes through someone’s head when they think taking out a presidential candidate is a good idea.

The Charges

Routh’s been convicted of attempting to assassinate Trump, which is a pretty serious charge. If the judge decides to throw the book at him, Routh could be looking at life in federal prison. It’s hard to feel too sorry for the guy, considering what he tried to do. Don’t expect any sympathy from the judge, either.
