The killer’s confession
Jurors have seen a
videotaped confession by the former Marine accused in the fatal shootings of
"American Sniper" author Chris Kyle and his friend.
The tape played Monday sheds more light on Eddie Ray Routh's mental
state shortly after the killings.
The 27-year-old has confessed to the February 2013 slayings but has
pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Defense attorneys say Routhwas insane when Kyle and Littlefield took him
to a shooting range to provide support and camaraderie. Prosecutors say he knew
his actions were wrong and should be convicted of capital murder.
