A California man pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, two months before he was set to go on trial for the 2022 murder plot. Appearing in a federal courtroom in Maryland, Nicholas Roske, 29, entered a guilty plea for the single charge he faces: attempting to assassinate a United States justice. US District Judge Deborah Boardman accepted the plea during the hearing, saying he was “fully capable and competent” of entering it. Kavanaugh’s name wasn’t said during the hearing, which lasted less than an hour. Boardman referred to the justice only as “Victim 1.” Roske spoke few words during the proceedings, only addressing the judge to give short answers to a litany of procedural and factual questions she posed. He said he was being treated for a mental illness, including with medication. Boardman, cautioning that she doesn’t yet know the sentencing guidelines for Roske, noted that prosecutors have estimated his sentencing range as being between 30 years and life in prison. The judge set Roske’s sentencing hearing for early October. He’ll remain detained while he awaits sentencing.
