STEPHENVILLE, Texas -- A former Marine was convicted Tuesday in the deaths of the "American Sniper" author and another man at a shooting range two years ago, as jurors rejected defense arguments that he was insane and suffered from psychosis.
The trial of Eddie Ray Routh has drawn intense interest, in part because of the blockbuster film based on former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle's memoir about his four tours in Iraq.
Since prosecutors didn't seek the death penalty in the capital murder case, the 27-year-old receives an automatic life sentence without parole in the deaths of Kyle and Kyle's friend, Chad Littlefield.
Bump
What a stupid statement. Chad Littlefield was murdered along with Chris Kyle. Who writes this crap?
Rome is burning on McConnell ratification of obama’s illegal amnesty and the sheeple care about this.
You should ask the mods to remove this thread. Your headline/title is WAY wrong.....should read (as link does)....
TEXAS JURY FINDS EDDIE RAY ROUTH GUILTY IN MURDER OF CHRIS KYLE
??!
I just copied the headline like the rules say.
Yup.
Now the original article has been corrected, but the link to the story still reads the way it was originally.
Stupid much?
2 hours from what I saw on the FNC crawl.
This dude was not insane, just an a-hole. His “they looked like pigs” crap didn’t even register with his OWN expert!
May he have a long and agonizing life. The Jenny to many.
Hmmm...
Uh, yeah, nOObTard.
We care about our servicemen and all Americans.
No joke.
Who is this idiot?
IBTZ...
This is no news. It was absolutely assured in Texas. It was a Fete au Complet. Much bigger things out there. He was a great sniper. I applaud what he did but Rome in burning.
Whatever.
Yer a punk.
IBTZ
nOObTard?!! LOL!!! Now that is funny right there! Good thing I was in between gulps of my adult beverage or one more keyboard would have doooooooooshed out! Well said tho Vendy.
Who are you calling sheeple? While Rome was burning you stopped long enough to post on this thread. I care about justice for Chris Kyle. If you don't, you shouldn't have clicked on the thread. FReepers are great at multi-tasking on multi issues.
Lucky I caught myself too and was nice about it.
I am texting one of my brothers and competitive turrets exploded.
Almost put one of the texts on FR.
I could smell ozone though and refrained....
