This is ironic….

Chris Kyle killer Eddie RayRouth found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison

Eddie Ray Routh had pled insanity over the deaths of Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield ''

 

After deliberations in a courthouse in Stephenville, Texas, that lasted barely two hours, a jury of ten women and two men found Eddie Ray Routh, a mentally disturbed former US Marine, guilty of capital murder in the death of Chris Kyle, known as the American Sniper, and a friend just over two years ago.

 

In the end, the jury returned to deliver its verdict shortly after 9 pm. The jury note was passed instantly to Judge Cashon who, with little pause, said that Routh had been found guilty of capital murder and that he was imposing the only sentence that was open to the court, life imprisonment without parole.

 

In an odd quirk of court procedure, Judge Cashon then heard so-called victim impact statements from family members of both Mr Kyle and his friend who also died at the hands of Routh, Chad Littlefield. Since the sentence had already been delivered, the statements in the end meant little beyond offering some form of catharsis to those who spoke, including Mr Kyle’s widow, Taya Kyle.

 

Moar if dasted …
