After two years, prosecutors and defense attorneys have not been able to reach a plea deal in the case against the man charged with attempting to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and have asked the judge to set a trial date. Nicholas Roske, who allegedly flew to the Washington, DC, area and traveled to Kavanaugh’s home with a gun and burglary tools, has been behind bars since he was arrested in June 2022. He has pleaded not guilty in the case. Prosecutors wrote in a filing Friday that “as of this date, the parties have not been able to agree upon the terms for a pretrial resolution of this case” and requested a scheduling conference with the judge to set a trial date. CNN has reached out to an attorney for Roske for comment. According to authorities, US deputy marshals posted outside of Kavanaugh’s house saw Roske exit a taxi outside the justice’s home. Law enforcement officials said Roske was arrested near the justice’s home after calling 911 at the behest of his sister. During that 14-minute call, Roske told the operator he needed “psychiatric help” and that he had a gun and other weapons.
