Jury i Arizona dömer krigsveteran för hot mot Trump

En jury i Arizona har funnit Rene Ortiz skyldig till att ha hotat att mörda president Donald Trump. Domen föll efter en fyra dagar lång rättegång i Phoenix.

Juryn dömde på måndagen Ortiz, en marinkårsveteran från Casa Grande, för att ha uttalat hot mot presidenten. Han hade lämnat dokument vid federala domstolsbyggnader i Phoenix och Tucson som beskrev planer på att skjuta Trump med ett M16-gevär från 300 eller 500 yards avstånd. Ortiz greps i början av 2025 för hot som uttalats i november och december 2024. Under en intervju med federala agenter i december 2024 erkände han uttalandena och kopplade dem till missnöje med det amerikanska veteranministeriet. Ortiz försvarsadvokater hävdade att han inte hade för avsikt att genomföra hoten och hänvisade till hans psykiska ohälsa. De lämnade även in en begäran om ogiltigförklaring av rättegången, vilket domaren avslog. Datum för straffutmätning har ännu inte fastställts.
