27 years old Eddie Ray Routh has been sentenced to life imprisonment without parole after being found guilty for the murders of Chris Kyle the real American sniper whose memoirs the Clint Eastwood directed movie '' The American Sniper'' is based and his friend Chad Littlefield. Both men had been helping Eddie Routh and other war veterans deal with post traumatic stress disorder when they were both shot and killed by Eddie in a Texas gun range in February of 2013.The defence lawyers for Eddie had tried to argue that he was suffering from psychosis at the time of the shooting and so not guilty of murder on the grounds of insanity, but prosecutors were able to convince the jury that took no longer than two hours to reach a verdict that Eddie was fully aware of his actions at the time of the incident and so should be held liable.
