WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a landmark decision to compensate for what was described as "mistreatment" he suffered in jail, would-be assassin Cole Allen was granted one more chance to try to kill President Donald Trump.
In a preliminary hearing in federal court, Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui apologized to Allen for the harsh treatment he received while in the custody of law enforcement and offered him another chance to make good on his assassination attempt to make up for it.
"After what you've been through, you deserve another chance," Faruqui said. "I am deeply troubled by the notion that someone who tried to murder the president would be subjected to mistreatment. I think it's only fair that you be granted another shot to succeed in what you set out to do."
Allen's legal representation hailed the magistrate judge's decision. "This is truly inspiring," said attorney Eugene Jeen-Young Kim Ohm. "My client is heartbroken over his failure, and his suffering has only been compounded by the harsh treatment he suffered at the hands of law enforcement. For the judge to give him another chance to take down the president… it's a beacon of hope to aspiring assassins everywhere."
Faruqui ordered Allen to be temporarily released from custody and given enough time to make another attempt on Trump's life. "It's the least he deserves after what he's endured," Faruqui said.
At publishing time, Faruqui had ruled that he would do whatever it might take to help Allen make as many attempts as necessary to accomplish his goal.
