Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
It's a victimless crime. Does he deserve life in prison?

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — A Florida jury found Ryan Wesley Routh guilty on Tuesday on all counts of attempting to assassinate then-presidential candidate Donald Trump last year on a golf course.
After just two-and-half hours of deliberations, the panel also found Routh guilty of assaulting the Secret Service agent who rousted him from his hiding place and guilty of three federal gun charges stemming from the Sept. 15, 2024, incident.
Routh, who had pleaded not guilty to all the charges, now faces life in prison when he is sentenced.
The verdict came in not long after Routh capped his two-week trial, during which he served as his own attorney, by delivering a brief and disjointed closing argument during which he tried to argue that there was no crime because he never fired a shot at Trump.

Routh was arrested last year while waiting for Donald Trump to get into his line of fire at Trump's Florida golf course.
