Browne reminded jurors that there were 19 rounds found in the magazine of the SKS rifle recovered at the scene, including one in the chamber.
There is "no doubt, no reasonable doubt, no doubt whatsoever that it was the man," Browne said, pointing at Routh, "who was hiding" in the sniper's nest.
Browne told jurors that his motives were also on clear display, pointing to lyrics from a rap song Routh wrote about killing Trump with a sniper rifle — one he penned after he was caught and arrested by the FBI.
"It's not every case where the defendant writes down his intent on a piece of paper," Browne said.
The prosecution spent most of its time Tuesday focusing on count one of the five federal criminal charges Routh is facing: Attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has grown increasingly frustrated with Routh’s decision to represent himself without a law degree or formal training. Before adjourning Monday, she warned him that any arguments must be "reasonably tied to the admitted evidence."
Routh confirmed he understood and told Cannon he would not testify on his own behalf, despite her repeated offers for him to reconsider and consult with standby counsel.
