American Sniper's Verdict Found

Chris Kyle with his book American Sniper.
Chris Kyle, an American hero and Navy SEAL, was 37 when he was murdered by Eddie Ray Routh two years ago. Recently, and partly from public awareness to the tragedy, the trial for Routh's fate occurred on Tuesday. Kyle and his Navy SEAL partner, Chad Littlefield, helped out at the local shooting ranges in a Texas small town. Soldiers returning from war were common people they assisted, whether they were disabled emotionally or physically. Routh (one men helped at the range) killed Kyle and Littlefield, outside of the shooting range. Allegedly, both the victims received multiple gunshots to their body. Routh was pleading insanity to the jury. He claimed to have schizophrenia, and also traumatic stress from the tours he went through in Iraq. The Jurors found Routh to be guilty without insanity. Due to the investigation and evidence found, the "American disgrace" will be sent to prison for life.


The heroic story of a Chris Kyle he wrote down in his book American Sniper. It was brought to life by Clint Eastwood; the end result was him producing one of the highest grossing movies of the year. American Sniper portrays the battle Chris Kyle (played by actor Bradley Cooper) experienced with the four terms he served in Iraq, his pinpoint accuracy to protect/kill with the sniper, and the emotionally withdrawal he went through from being away from the fight. The movie received one Oscar for sound editing, and brought $322 million dollars into the box office.
