瑞安·鲁斯在特朗普刺杀未遂案中结束辩护未作证

摘要

被控企图刺杀前总统唐纳德·特朗普的瑞安·鲁斯在听取了枪械专家和品格证人证词后,结束了他的辩护但未出庭作证。

被控于2024年9月在佛罗里达一高尔夫球场企图刺杀前总统唐纳德·特朗普的瑞安·鲁斯,于周一结束了他的辩护,未亲自出庭作证。鲁斯选择自我辩护,质询了三名证人:一名枪械专家和两名品格证人。

枪械专家迈克尔·麦克雷作证称,鲁斯据称的藏身点可以清楚看到高尔夫球场的第六果岭。他指出,在测试中,归属于鲁斯的SKS步枪在第二发子弹时卡壳,可能限制了其有效性。此外,该步枪的瞄准镜安装不当,可能影响了射击精度。

品格证人描述鲁斯为性格平和的人,但承认多年未见过他。在交叉询问中,一名证人承认近期与鲁斯的接触有限。

检方指控鲁斯在袭击前花费数周时间策划,并在高尔夫比赛中对特朗普瞄准步枪。一名特勤局特工作证称,他在特朗普出现前发现了鲁斯,促使鲁斯逃离现场且未开枪。

鲁斯已对包括企图刺杀主要总统候选人、袭击联邦官员及多项枪械违规在内的指控表示不认罪。结案陈词定于周二进行,随后陪审团将进行审议。
