Routh's Trial and Life Sentence for Assassination Attempt
Prosecutors claim Routh sought military-grade RPG and framed actions as protests linked to Ukraine and U.S. politics.
Secret Service agent Fercano testified he spotted Routh, fired, and caused him to drop an SKS-style rifle.
Routh fled in a black Nissan Xterra, where officers found phones, flight list, armor plates, and ammo.
DOJ requested life sentence; defense seeks decades-long variance and seven-year gun term.
Routh represented himself, tried to stab himself with a pen, and was restrained after accepting counsel.
