tonight. >> in his victim impact statement littlefield's brother speaking to routh directly calling him an american disgrace saying your claims of ptsd have been an insult to every veteran who served with honor disgracing a proud military. >> she stormed out during closing arguments cursing and slamming her hands on the wall at routh's mother for never mentioning his son's history of violence before he took him to a gun range. >> taya has been in court every day and has been the first to testify. now we are hearing that emotional testimony released overnight. taya on the stand reliving the last time she ever spoke to her husband. >> he would say hey, babe. i just had a quick question for him if he wanted to go out with our friends for dinner that night. i just said hey, i know you are working doing your stuff do you want to go out with my friends for dinner. he goes yeah that would be fine. i said okay. i said are you okay? he was like yup. that's not common for him. usually our service sayingses are -- conversations are more. he was just quiet. a lot of times that was the case with him it would be like i am at a point where i don't know if i should say more because obviously there's something more or if i should just -- he's probably dealing with it and go. >> chris kyle's family not yet releasing a public statement. eddy eddie ray routh's attorneys planning to appeal his conviction. the jury reaching a verdict in less than three hours choosing to deliberate late last night rather than bait until today. a clear indication maybe of what they were thinking. joining me now is rebecca rosewood rosewoodland. thank you for joining us so early. did it surprise you they were able to come up with the verdict so quickly and why they were able to do so unanimously. >> it doesn't surprise me. i think they knew what they wanted to do. once they listened to all of the law which the judge gave to them they said let's do it judge please let's get it done. they took adequate time. it was not as if they predecided but they knew where they were going. you had a defendant who pled guilty. he was guilty or he went into a mental institution. >> the defense spent a lot of time trying to prove his insanity. it boiled down to whether or not he knew what he did was wrong. in that respect why didn't it work? >> you are right. what the insanity defense is legally not what it would be col lobing kwally. you have to have committed the act not knowing you were wrong or doing it with an uncontrollable urge. there hadz to be a doctor coming in to prove that you were medically incapable of knowing right from wrong or medically incapable of helping yourself from doing it. the defense didn't prove that here. >> they called one witness. >> one. >> why just one witness. >> i guess that's all they had. you can't make someone testify to something that isn't true. i guess they didn't have enough support for the defense that was pretty much baseless. we saw him in the confession, in the time after the killings say, i can't believe what i did recognizing that he had done something wrong which is the big per parameter. did you do something wrong and if you know that you did then you go to jail. then you are guilty if you are found to have committed the act. >> bottom line those pieces of prosecution admitted saying he admitted guilt. >> there was a chase with a car. he knew what he had done. the prosecution presented the facts clearly without misunderstanding to the jury. i think the jury did what they had to do. they took the time but they did apply the law to the facts. i think the conclusion was oosh-- >> life in prison. any chance there will be an appeal? >> he will have life in prison. i don't see any possible for an appeal being victorious. >> we will bring you back in the next half hour for more insight. >> marcus latrell and his wife have been in the courtroom since the beginning. during closing arguments they set off a social media firestorm just moments after the verdict. >> this is what he posted. justice served for chris and the littlefield family. to eddie ray routh, you thought you had ptsd before wait until the boys in td find out what you did. >> chris kyle convicted of capitol murder jury didn't buy the defense. >> this just in texas jury finds eddie ray routh guilty of the murders of chris kyle and

full loan christian genocide. >> are you equating this to a modern day christian holocaust? >> this is a christian holocaust. >> months of u.s. and coalition air strikes they are far from on the run. the group gained ground inside syria and it has become a difficult situation for the administration to explain. >> there has been a slight increase of isil presence in syria, but i can't buy any means describe what is happening in syria as a big advance. they had been stopped. remember kobani was going to be the big quest.test. >> syria has proven to be difficult to operate in. there was an insatiable group last month. they had 21 deee deposition christians simply for being christians. >> we have to prevent it. >> it goes to show how little of the united states and coalition partners know about what's going on on the ground inside syria. sources say there are little human intelligence they had to try to track folks like this. satellite intelligence signaling those kinds of things but not that kind of hard ones. >> thank you leland. >> states to the south declare ago state of emergency ahead of snow sleet and ice in areas of georgia today. >> maria molina is tracking the stormer storms for us. >> new england is taking a break now we are looking at snow across parts of the south. through mississippi and parts of the southeast. take a look at the forecast high

that it wasn't going to work. but chantix helped me do it. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it gave me the power to overcome the urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i'm a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. >> welcome back. more now on the fox news alert on the american sniper murder trial. the man who killed chris kyle and chad little field convicted of capital murder in texas. eddy ray routh will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibilities of parole. his lawyers tried to argue he was insane when he shot kyle and littlefield in a texas range two years ago. the jury not buying it delivering a guilty verdict in just about two hours. >> there were no surprises here. i said it earlier this evening, the jury wants to deliberate after having such a long day as they did today. usually they would want to get home and absorb it. clearly they knew they were on the same page there was no doubt, that the defense of insanity works so rarely all over the united states of america
