Trump’s assassination attempt is suspicious Rolls’ legal team believes insanity
Defence and prosecution in the U.S. District Court judge faced the debate of Erin Cannon, South District, Florida.
Routh’s defense attorney is seeking his own independent analysis of whether the gun will fire if Routh pulls the trigger and whether the distance from the bullets fired at the muzzle is enough to hit Trump. The defense believes that if the guns do not fire, or if the bullets cannot hit Trump from the range of fire, the Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors cannot prove that Rolls intends to kill Trump.
“If he didn’t know it didn’t have a chance to hit the target, that would negate the intention,” said Kristy Militello and Renee Sihvola, public defenders of Ruth.
Federal prosecutors said the gun was successfully fired while being tested on the spot, and later tested by FBI experts at Quantico, Virginia. They said the test was enough to prove Rous’s intention.

However, the Defense Agency still has questions about the range of weapons and wants to have its own experts – people with SWAT experience – to test the gun.
Prosecutors said this was impossible because the weapon had to be tested within a federal facility without access to such a facility.
The defense will have the opportunity to view all evidence in a visit to the FBI’s live office next week Miramar, Florida.
The case was on September 15, when a Secret Service agent noticed that the barrel of the AK-47 reached several holes in several loopholes before the Trump International Golf Club game. Authorities said agents fired at Rous, who gave up his weapon and a Gopro camera and fled to the SUV. He was captured shortly thereafter.
Later, he pleaded not guilty to five federal charges, including an attempt to assassinate a major presidential candidate.
