Share this @internewscast.com

The individual charged with orchestrating a plot to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh is set to admit guilt, per court records. On Wednesday, Nicholas Roske’s defense team informed Judge Deborah Bordman of his intent to plead guilty.

“We are notifying the Court that Mr. Roske intends to admit to the single charge against him,” the attorneys stated in a letter to the judge. They also filed a letter endorsed by Roske, detailing the crime, consequences, and “grounds for a guilty plea.”

Roske’s trial was originally scheduled for June 9, 2025. However, following the recent submission, a plea hearing is being pursued by his lawyers and the prosecutors for April 7 or 8, where he will officially enter his guilty plea.

The letter that Roske signed detailed the series of events that led to his arrest outside of Kavanaugh’s home on June 8, 2022. According to the document, Roske admits that the government would be able to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that he flew to Washington with an unloaded firearm and ammo, took a taxi to Kavanaugh’s neighborhood, and told police he had suicidal and homicidal thoughts and that he was there “to act on them.”

Roske was picked up by police on a nearby street after calling 911 on himself. At the time, he allegedly told police he wanted “to give his life a purpose” by breaking into Kavanaugh’s home, killing the justice and then himself. He was later charged with attempted murder. 

According to an affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, Roske told detectives that “he was upset about the leak of a recent p regarding the right to an abortion as well as the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas,” and believed Kavanaugh “would side with Second Amendment decisions that would loosen gun control laws.”
