AP<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nSince his conviction, Routh was appointed an attorney and has requested a 27-year sentence that would allow him to \u201cexperience freedom again as opposed to dying in prison.\u201d His lawyer argued that Routh could not have a fair trial because he represented himself, even though Routh made that decision after repeated warnings about the potential consequences.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDefendant recognizes that he was found guilty by the jury but 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,\u201d his defense lawyer wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Routh has attempted to bolster his push for a lighter sentence by submitting multiple letters from friends attesting to his character and undergoing a psychiatric examination, which suggested he suffers from narcissistic personality disorder and bipolar II disorder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRyan has already shown, through his actions, that he is an asset to his community, not a threat. He deserves the chance to one day return home, where he can continue to be a loving father, partner, and a peaceful, contributing member of society,\u201d wrote Darya Trotsenko, a Kyiv resident who said she met Routh when he attempted to volunteer to support Ukraine\u2019s defense.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But prosecutors argue that Routh continues to show little remorse for his actions, pointing to recent writings in which he referenced an earlier attempt on Trump\u2019s life and wrote, \u201cI hate our dictator missed the trial, can my appeal be heard in 30 years when he is gone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
In another court filing, Routh suggested he prefers that Trump personally punish him for his actions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the President wished to pummel the defendant just for good measure, put on the handcuffs and shackles and give it your worst. No cameras, no complaints, no charges\/charges. Just good fun. Don’t be a p\u2014-. (Can I say p\u2014- or coward \u2013 sorry),\u201d Routh wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sentencing will take place in a federal courtroom in Fort Pierce, Florida, and decided by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump-appointed judge who dismissed the criminal case against the president in 2024\u00a0related to his handling of classified documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Routh unsuccessfully attempted to have Cannon removed from the case by arguing her appointment by Trump is a conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
