The man who is accused of plotting an assassination attempt against Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh moved to toss statements he made to investigators, as well as any evidence found on him, after a warrantless search and seizure of his belongings.

Nicholas Roske told a federal court that he was having suicidal and homicidal thoughts on 8 June 2022, outside of Justice Kavanaugh’s home where he called 911, saying he needed psychiatric help. Roske was promptly arrested by law-enforcement personnel.

His attorneys says Roske's statements during his arrest must be suppressed as they violate his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. His lawyers acknowledge he was later given the Miranda warnings once at the police station, but was not in the right mental state to waive the rights. Finding the weapon in his bag was also a violation of Roske's 4th Amendment right against unlawful search and seizure.

An indictment is not a finding of guilt. An individual charged by indictment is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty at some later criminal proceedings.
