You are an American disgrace': Victim's family tell how they shamed killer of American Sniper in court after he was found guilty - as jury insist he WASN'T insane, The family of Chad Littlefield, who was shot dead alongside famed U.S. Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, has spoken out about their relief that the killer was found guilty of murder on Tuesday.
Eddie Ray Routh, 27, was emotionless as the jury in Stephenville, Texas read their verdict last night: that he had not been insane when he opened fire on the two men in February 2013. They had taken him to a shooting range to help him settle back into society after he left the Marines.
After the verdict, Littlefield's brother-in-law, Jerry Richardson, turned to Routh and said: 'You took the lives of two heroes, men that tried to be a friend to you. You became an American disgrace.'
As the family also spoke out on the Today show on Wednesday morning, jurors stepped forward to say they had 'no doubt' that Routh knew what he was doing at the time of the murders.More Read
