Fort Peres, Florida – A man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump at his stadium at the Golf Stadium in Florida last year was told a federal judge on Friday that the prosecutors had not proven an assassination attempt. But the judge denied his request for innocence, which means that the jury will eventually decide the fate of the man.
Prosecutors rested their case against Ryan Roth Friday afternoon, after a certificate of 38 witnesses for seven days. After the jurors were rejected at the weekend, Ruth, who represented himself, asked for a request directly to the American provincial judge, Eline Cannon, on four of the five charges against him, except for the charge of being a criminal convicted of a firearm possession.
Prosecutors said that Ruth spent weeks conspiring to kill Trump before targeting a gun through the bushes, as Trump played the golf on September 15, 2024, in his club in West Palm Beach.
Ruth acknowledged that he was not guilty of charges Attempt to assassinate a major presidential candidateThe assault on a federal officer and many firearms violations.
On Friday afternoon, Ruth argued that the prosecutors had not proven any attempt to assassinate Trump.
“Maybe they have proven that someone was outside the fence (golf stadium) with a pistol, but the gun has never been launched,” Ruth said.
Ruth said that the area outside the Trump international golf club was right on the way to a public road, and anyone had the right to be with a weapon.
Prosecutors responded that Roth took many great steps in his attempt to kill Trump, including directing a pistol loaded with his safety through the fence.
“This is far from the peace assembly that you can get,” said American lawyer John Shipley.
Canon denied that Roth asked, explaining that the juror could be reasonably found that the prosecutors had met the burden of their proof. This means that the next step is that the defense begins in its case on Monday morning. Ruth indicated that he intends to contact three witnesses: an expert in firearms and a witness. He did not say whether he was planning to testify. The judge told Friday that his case should take about half a day.
Canon said that the lawyers should be ready to present their final arguments on Tuesday, with each side giving an hour and 45 minutes. The jury will start trading after that. Cannon initially prevented more than three weeks for trial at Fort Pierce Court, but the relatively short Ruth tests led to a faster pace than expected.
The witness of the final claim spent about six hours during Thursday and Friday in linking for nearly a week of the certificate. Kimberly McGreevy has used mobile phone records, site data, text messages, banking records, online search operations, security video, and various store receipts to clarify the actions of Ruth and their movements throughout the month before the attack date.
McGrvi said the evidence showed that Roth traveled to South Florida almost a month before the assassination attempt. The agent said that he lived outside the Black Xterra, which was usually stopped at the Western Palm Beach County station, while he was routinely traveling to the areas surrounding the Palm Beach International Airport, Trump International Golf Stadium and Trump’s basic stay in Mar Lago.
“He was living in the truck stopping, physical and electronic monitoring, and chasing the president, then President Trump,” McGrvi said.
The alleged re -attack at the Golf Stadium, the Secret Service Agent witnessed last week that he had monitored Ruth before Trump appeared. The client said that Ruth was aiming at his rifle to the agent, who opened the fire, causing Ruth to drop his weapon and flee without firing a bullet.
The law enforcement obtained the help of those who witnessed that he saw a person fleeing the area after hearing gunshots. Then the witness was transferred in a police helicopter to the near highway where Ruth was arrested, and the witness said he confirmed that he was the person he saw.
Just nine weeks ago, Trump survived attempt In his life during his campaign in Pennsylvania. This gunman released eight shots, with a single bullet that sponsors Trump’s ear. Then the armed was shot by the secret service meter sniper.
