Soccer star hope solo at the center of that huge firestorm speaking out for the first time this morning about her offthefield trouble and her hope for the future. And good morning, america. We have a lot to get to this wednesday morning and we begin with that american sniper verdict. The jury got the case a little after 7 30. By 10 00 they had a verdict. Eddie routh convicted of murdering chris kyle and his friend chad littlefield. Of course this case made so famous by the movie american sniper see Bradley Cooper playing chris kyle. Six of the jurors will join us in an abc news exclusive taking us inside their deliberations but first abcs ryan owens has the latest from stephenville, texas. Good morning, ryan. Reporter good morning, robin. It did not take the jury long to decide they did not buy the insanity defense here. As you mentioned, they only had the case for about 2 1 2 hours and nearly an hour of that was dinner. We, the jury find the defend eddie ray routh, guilty of the offense of capital murder. Reporter eddie routh will spend the rest of his life in a texas prison. The outcome the families of american sniper chris kyle and chad littlefield were hoping for. Weve waited two years for god to get justice for us on behalf of our son. Reporter routh showed no emotion as the verdict was read. He hasnt this entire trial. And no reaction this morning from taya kyle chriss widow. She left in tears after closing arguments and never returned but she was here every day of the nineday trial and was the first witness. Who were you married to prior to february the 2nd, 2013 . Chris kyle. Okay. Reporter the judge didnt allow audio to be broadcast during the trial so this is our first time hearing her emotional testimony. I was outside our house on easter morning, chris hiding easter eggs ss for the kids. Reporter as she watched whose life became a blockbuster. Green light. Reporter detailing the last time she saw her husband alive. Said we loved each other and gave each other a kiss and a hug like we always did. Reporter this morning we also finally hear the killers voice on the Police Interrogation tape. Eddie routh answering that pivotal question. Did you know the difference between wrong and right . Yes, sir. Reporter and apologizing to the victims families. Id tell them im so sorry for what i done and if i could have done it differently, id done it a whole lot differently. Reporter in closing arguments the prosecutor told the jury this man shot two men in the back in hournin and our county finds him guilty and thats exactly what they did. George. Thanks ryan. We are joined by several of the jurors who reached this decision last night. Thank you so much for joining us. I know you had a long night last night but let me begin with barrett. You deliberated for a little over two hours. How were you able to reach it so quickly. We had our strong feelings. We were led the same direction. We spent time to go back over the facts that led us in that direction and ultimately unanimous decision you know multiple times. We just like i said reinforced why it was a unanimous decision and where we got to where we got. Heidi, was there any disagreement at the beginning . Not really. It was kind of we felt like we shouldnt just come to a decision. We felt like we needed to talk things over first and figure out whether everybody was on the same page or if we needed to discuss something more so we took our time before we actually came to the guilty verdict. We discussed Different Things and asked questions and talked it over. Christina yeager eddie routh had so much bizarre behavior. Did you all just decide he was faking . That was something that we really had to figure out in the beginning. I know a lot of us came into this jury questioning that. But evidence shows that there was a real definite pattern there when it came to you know his earlier convictions before the trial. Sara tell us more about that pattern. Well, when i say theres a pattern that we saw, it was, you know he would be he would get intoxicated, get in trouble and then the police would show up and he would say im a veteran. I have ptsd. Im insane. You know and every time something bad happened hed pull that card and also just other evidence like his other convictions and then as well as you know just pattern behaviors through his interviews with the specialists. And bottom line barrett, you all were convinced he knew the difference between right and wrong when he pulled those triggers . Yes, sir. Without a doubt. Without a doubt. He knew the consequences of pulling the trigger the first time. A lot of people are wondering if he could get a fair trial given all the publicity surround this case given the movie, the extreme popularity of this movie american idol, did any of you see the movie and are you confident that you went into this with an open mind . The movie . There might have been a few of us that did, barrett might have. I did. Barrett, you saw the movie. How did it impact you . It gave me a better outlook on chris role as a marine what that job entitles a greater respect for it. But as far as the action that is took place on february 2nd, you know chad was till in the picture and chad was not in that movie. I basically put the fact that chris was a marine you know out of my mind and just looked at him as a person. Looked at chad as a person and looked at eddie as a person and tried to make, you know reasonable judgment. Finally, is there anything else you want our viewers to know about this case . I think its a sad story for both families its a very sad story. Its a tragedy and its i hope that the families the littlefield and kyle families get some closure over there. Well thank you all for your service and thanks for your time this morning. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You heard barrett say it right there. No doubt this their minds about this conviction. Without a doubt thats how they said it all right, george. To that air safety alert. Federal regulators allowing southwest to keep flying more than 100 planes despite missing a key inspection and Abcs David Kerley is at atlantas Hartsfield Jackson airport with the latest. Good morning, david. Reporter good morning, robin. This caused quite a mess for Southwest Airlines yesterday. They had to cancel 80 flights because it missed an inspection in a quarter of its fleet of a specific jetliner. Now, the problem is in the rudder in the tail section. What southwest did is it didnt inspect the backup hydraulic system there in 128 of its 450 nearly 450 737700s so what is happening now, the faa is allowing southwest to continue flying those aircraft if it does those inspections over the next five days . Why . This is like your 100,000mile checkup of your car. A lot of systems are to be looked at. It doesnt mean theyll fail. For as long as they complete the inspections by sunday the faa says these planes are safe to fly but i got to tell you southwest has faced a lot of fines over inspections, 7 million, a proposed 12 million fine so this one i think theyll try to get done in okay david, thanks very much.

This is not something you normally see at the end of february so you could hear it on ryan owens umbrella either rain or sleet and both being detected around dallas. Snow will move in. Winter weather advisories from there through winter storm warnings southern arkansas to atlanta to richmond. So its that large swath and i think a lot of folks will get that showstopping schoolclosing type of snow and a little bit of ice in some places. So heres some of the pockets of heavier snow southwestern arkansas. The mountains of tennessee, Western North carolina and as it wraps up in virginia and delaware.

Confirmed we got a critical got one down critical. Reporter it turns out the house was under renovation and empty but 15 people hurt including six firefighters and two utility workers who were critically injured and airlifted to an er. Mostly had hearing problems. Reporter town Officials Say a twoinch gas pain apparently broke, though its still unclear how and what exactly ignited the blast. The police chief telling me they released this video to show the dangers of gas leaks, something they say could happen to anyone. I think a lot of times people minimize the potential risk to them and i think this really highlights the fact that you know what there is a real grave danger and need to get away from any potential gas leaks. Now at last check those two utility workers were still in Critical Condition and after surveying that damage up close its amazing they survived. It really is. Tom, thank you.
