A judge is set to sentence Nicholas Roske on Friday for attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the weeks leading up to the high court’s landmark Dobbs decision.
The Department of Justice has asked for 30 years in prison, while Roske’s attorneys have asked for eight years.
In a sentencing memorandum, prosecutors said Roske showed up at Kavanaugh’s house on June 8, 2022, armed with a pistol, ammunition, a knife, a crowbar and tactical gear, intending to kill the conservative justice and three other justices.
The potential impact of Roske’s conduct was “immeasurable and staggering,” prosecutors said.
