Overview

• A federal jury in Florida found Routh guilty on five counts after less than three hours of deliberation.
• The convictions include attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearms offenses.
• Routh represented himself, called three witnesses, and saw Judge Aileen Cannon curtail parts of his opening for irrelevance.
• After the verdict, he tried to stab himself with a flexible pen before being restrained by U.S. Marshals and was uninjured.
• The New York Times briefly posted an incorrect not-guilty version of the verdict story, then replaced it in under a minute and added a correction.
