Nicholas Roske, who admitted to attempting to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh, a sitting U.S. Supreme Court justice, now identifies as transgender and faces a potential life sentence in federal prison. Prosecutors are asking the court to impose a punishment of at least 30 years, citing the nature of the crime as an attack on the core of the U.S. government.
Roske, who pleaded guilty in April to attempting to assassinate Kavanaugh in 2022, admitted he traveled from California to the suburbs of Washington, D.C., with weapons and had plans to break into the justice’s home. Roske had initially planned to take his own life after carrying out the killing, but ultimately called 911 and surrendered without violence.
Federal prosecutors on Friday filed a sentencing recommendation stating that Roske’s actions amounted to domestic terrorism and required a severe sentence, The Hill reported.
