NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

The selection of the jury begins on Monday in Fort Pierce, Florida, during the high -level federal trial of Ryan Routh, accused of having plotted to assassinate President Donald Trump in his West Palm Beach golf club in September 2024.

The selection of the jury should end on Wednesday.

Potential jurors are taken from the reports of voters and driving license files in the southern district of Florida. They are brought and interviewed under oath – a process known as seeing – to determine if they can be just and impartial. The American lawyer’s office for the southern district of Florida directs the proceedings.

Prosecutors and Routh, representing himself, will directly question the jurors – an unusual dynamic which could make procedures unpredictable.

Both parties can challenge jurors “if the bias is clear. They also obtain a limited number of peremptory strikes, where they can reject jurors without giving reason, as long as it is not discriminatory.

A jury of 12 people, as well as substitutes, will be seated. Federal law requires unanimous verdict for conviction.

Roth is accused of attempted assassination of a large presidential candidate, as well as the assault of a federal officer and a series of firearms. Federal prosecutors say that the charges are sentenced to perpetuity to perpetuity if he is found guilty. He pleaded not guilty of all federal accusations, as well as heads of state separated from terrorism and attempted murder.

Trump is not an accused in this case.

The American district judge appointed by Trump, Aileen Cannon, approved Routh’s request to act like his own lawyer, although the lawyers appointed by the court will remain pending to intervene if necessary.

Federal public defenders representing Rounth asked for the challenge of Cannon, citing his previous involvement in the Trump’s classified documents. Judicial deposits show that the request has been refused, keeping Cannon – randomly assigned to the case – on the bench.

Prosecutors say that Roth spent weeks plotting the attack, even by camping near Trump’s golf course for 12 hours with a rifle. A secret service agent spotted the weapon and opened the fire after Roth was targeting, forcing Routh to drop the pistol and run. Months later, the investigators said they had found a letter addressed to “Dear Monde”, in which Roth admitted to have regrets not having killed Trump. Judicial files also allege that a few weeks before his arrest in August 2024, Routh was trying to obtain anti -aid weapons and hiring someone to monitor Trump flights.
