Breaking News: Guilty Plea in Supreme Court Justice Assassination Attempt
Individual confessed to perpetrating the 2022 attempted murder on Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Let's cut the bullshit and get right to it. A California fella named Nicholas Roske has copped to an attempt on the life of Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh. This went down in Maryland's federal courtroom last Tuesday.
With a smirk on her face, Deborah Boardman, the judge, accepted Roske's plea for one simple charge: attempting to whack a US justice. The hearing was a quickie, lasting less than an hour, with Roske keeping his trap shut during questioning. He mumbled brief answers, mentioning he's battling a mental health issue and getting medicate.
Kavanaugh's name wasn't spoken in court, with Boardman referring to him as "Victim 1." Roske wasn't exactly chatty, only addressing the judge when she asked procedural and factual questions. He spilled the beans about being treated for a mental illness and prescribed medication.
Now, here's where it gets juicy. Prosecutors estimate Roske's prison slam ranges from 30 years to life behind bars. The sentencing hearing has been set for October, with Roske remaining in the hoosegow till then.
In June 2022, ol' Nick packed a handgun, knife, and zip ties and took a taxi to Kavanaugh's Maryland crib in the dead of night. He got cold feet when he spotted Kavanaugh's shithead security. He phoned his sister, who talked some sense into him, leading him to call 911 instead of hacking up the justice.
The whole thing caused a bit of a stink over the safety of those nasty Supreme Court justices. Roske admitted to cops that the assassination attempt was partly due to the high court's draft decision overturning Roe v. Wade, a famous abortion rights case, and its stance on expanding gun rights.
Roske was high as a kite on suicide and frustration. He spilled his guts to authorities after the arrest: "I've been suicidal for a damn long time. Seeing that leaked draft made me angrier than a motherfucker and I wanted to - I don't know... I thought I could make the world a better place by offing him."
Roske's legal eagles stated that he was in a brain-meltingly suicidal state, looking like hell, and begging for psychiatric care when he got popped.
