Taken to the firing range by Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield on February 2, 2013, Eddie Ray Roth had inevitability taken his anger out on the wrong subjects. Rough Creek Lodge and Resort, the range in Iredell, Texas where the men had been staying, was a mere 11,000 acre building; isolating the men. Laying unconscious on the range floor, a hunting guide had later discovered the bodies of Kyle, 38, and Littlefield, 35, but the men were dead once officers arrived.

The former Marine convicted of killing former Navy SEAL Kyle and Littlefield was debatably viewed as guilty before stepping into the courtroom. Although there were both facts and gossip being spread profusely by the public about what Routh had done, his attorneys never denied any of the events. In fact, such events had been used as a rebuttal, claiming that what Routh was being tried for did occur; though he was not in a healthy state of mind when he committed such crimes.

Routh’s attorneys did however, go on to claim that the former Marine suffers from psychosis, paranoia, and schizophrenia; making Routh a victim of mental illnesses and disorders instead of insanity.

Although suffering from mental illnesses had been the only cause Routh’s attorneys had testified, Dr. Randall Price provided a different side to the story. As a forensic psychologist who testified as the prosecution’s medical expert, Price said Routh’s heavy marijuana use had caused a substance abuse psychotic disorder.

It took the Texas jurors less than three hours to conclude a verdict; Routh had been found guilty of capital murder in the deaths of both Kyle and Littlefield. Judge Jason Cashon then immediately sentenced Routh to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Although the jury was allowed three choices for the verdict: innocent, guilty, and innocence through insanity, the jurors, including Texas attorney general Jane Starnes, concluded that Routh had not been insane, nor innocent.
