FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — Potential jurors on Tuesday returned for a second day of screening in the trial of a man charged with trying to assassinate Donald Trump while he played golf last year in South Florida.
Potential jurors being selected for the trial of Ryan Routh were asked whether they had hardships that would prevent them from serving on the jury and if they could adhere to the presumption of innocence for the defendant.
A woman raised her hand and told U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that she had been following the case since the incident occurred and it would be hard to change her opinion.
“I am MAGA and I love my president,” said the woman, who was one of the 20 people dismissed from the jury pool Tuesday morning
Cannon signed off on Routh’s request to represent himse
