FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Testimony resumed Friday in the trial of Ryan Routh, the man accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump while he played golf near West Palm Beach last year.
Erin Case , an FBI agent, was the first witness to take the stand, discussing the mapping of the crime scene, Routh's alleged location and the golf course's design/geography.
Case described the area Routh, 59, had staked out as a "close quarters, crawl space" that was created by a broken branch. She said Routh's location was very difficult to see from the other side, forcing agents to notify each other verbally when they were trying to move.
Case said Routh was 126 feet away from the sixth hole at Trump International Golf Club. Witnesses take the stand in Ryan Routh trial
