something rotten when the two lead prosecutors, both of whom are extremely experienced, seasoned prosecutors and lawyers, publicly resign, reportedly because of disagreements with the d.a. and to me, the only conclusion i can reach without knowing any more and we don t know what the evidence is, but to me it wreaks of kerry dunn and mike pomerantz thinking there is a case here and then deciding that there is not. i can t figure out why else they would resign in this public of a way, if they agree there wasn t a case, they wouldn t need to resign, and if they were all in agreement that they should be charged and they wouldn t resign, so the clearly there is serious disagreement and a public resignation by prosecutors is a very, very
the defense of insanity works so rarely all over the united states of america. but especially in texas. especially in a case that has such no to rye ti. two american heroes being executed after the battles the wars that they ve been through for our country. he had zero sympathy on his side except he was a human being. as i read through the closing arguments that took place earlier today, the state was very powerful. the prosecution. they said this was deliberate. this was calculated. this was cold. he survived four tours of duty in iraq. he came home unscathed. and died face down in the dirt at a luxury shooting range. which did bring home the point they ve been through so much danger in their lives and this was to help another human being. he wanted chad dead. dead, dead dead, dead. they kept saying it. it was awful. it was bloody. it was a senseless crime. we can all agree eddie had
eddie ray routh in the murder of the american sniper case which includes chris kyle and chad littlefield. we have casey stegall who has been following this entire case for fox news. and i ve got to tell you, they came back in less than two hours, casey. the evidence seemed overwhelming, incontrovertible a very quick decision for this jury. reporter: yes, sean it was. nine days 29 total witnesses for the prosecution. only eight on the side of the defense. testified over the last nine days or so. and just as you heard a unanimous verdict guilty. 27-year-old former marine eddie ray routh, found guilty of capital murder. and will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of for parole. again, the jurors had three options on the table, not guilty, guilty, or guilty by reason of insanity. clearly the jury sending a message tonight that they did
the county here, not too large. they have never really had a major trial like this where they have literally been thrust into the national spotlight. and as you drive around town, on the restaurants, on the hotel marquees, you see things like, we support the kyle and littlefield families. this community has really rallied together. and that s one of the reasons why, incidentally, the defense really tried arguing a change of venue before this trial even started. yeah. reporter: they said that everyone here knew chris kyle. and everyone knew chad littlefield, and that they did not believe eddie ray routh was going to be able to get a fair trial in their home community where those two men were so well known, and so loved, sean. you know look, in this case when you just look at it objectively, and discern the evidence as presented, the prosecution had a very, very strong case, what else are you hearing about the reaction from
about the rules and what you can and can t do. from this point forward, i have no other control over you. i m discharging you from those rules and obligations. i want to talk to you briefly about them. you re free to discuss this case with anyone at this point, or to not discuss the case. that s certainly up to you. i want to issue a statement to you, and that is, that the lawyers in this matter are professionals. and they re not going to bother you about your verdict, i can assure you that should anybody else attempt to bother you about your verdict, you make it known immediately. any one of these officers of these court, the bailiffs or anybody will get it stopped in quick fashion in a hurry. i have been asked by the media do you understand this is a high-profile matter, that they want to talk to you. as you can hear, we have a guilty verdict in the case of
