The guy that was stopped in an assassination attempt was given a federal "Life Sentence + 8 years for the gun charges. “American democracy does not work when individuals take it into their own hands to eliminate candidates. That’s what this individual tried to do” Assistant U.S. Attorney John Shipley told the judge. Sentencing was supposed to be last December, but Routh quit representing himself and got a lawyer. Obviously, that didn't mean a lot, but
Routh tried to read a 20 page rambling statement in his "defense," but the U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon cut him off because none of the statement was relative to the case.
It sounded like Cannon gave him the maximum time on all counts, which sounds pretty good to me.
