Prosecutors Seek Indefinite Delay In Trial Of Alleged Trump Assassin Over “Complex” Evidence<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Federal prosecutors on Wednesday requested an indefinite delay in the upcoming trial of Ryan Routh<\/strong>, the man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump, claiming that a massive trove of evidence has emerged in recent weeks rendering the case “complex,” ABC News<\/em><\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

According to a Wednesday filing with Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon<\/strong>, prosecutors have gathered too much evidence to proceed to trial – including hundreds of witness interviews, 13 search warrants, and the seizure of “multiple electronic devices”<\/strong> from locations in Florida, Hawaii, and North Carolina. The overwhelming amount of digital data to review – around 4,000 terabytes<\/strong> – allegedly led to the request.<\/p>\n

The FBI also continues to conduct forensic tests on other evidence<\/strong>, including “ballistics testing, and fingerprint and DNA comparisons,” which will likely require them to prepare several expert witnesses to testify about in advance of Routh’s eventual trial.<\/em><\/p>\n

The filing states Routh’s defense attorneys did not oppose the government’s request to indefinitely delay his trial date.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Routh, 58, appeared in federal court in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday for his arraignment on attempted assassination charges. Routh’s lawyers entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. -ABC News<\/em><\/p>\n

The delay request came just one day after Judge Cannon had set a tentative trial date of November 18.<\/strong> But with prosecutors still awaiting over 100 subpoena responses and conducting forensic analysis, including ballistics and DNA testing, the government says their case is far from ready to proceed.<\/p>\n

Routh allegedly staked out the Trump International Golf Course in Florida for 12 hours on September 15<\/strong>, waiting for the former president to arrive. According to prosecutors, his attempt was thwarted when Secret Service agents spotted a rifle poking through the golf course fence. Routh was later apprehended on I-95.<\/p>\n

The incident echoes a previous attempt on Trump’s life just two months prior,<\/strong> when gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Crooks’ attack injured Trump and left one attendee dead.<\/p>\n
