BREAKING: Judge Decides Chris Kyle Killers Fate Defence lawyers for Routh had claimed the 27-year-old was psychotic at the time of the shootings two years ago. But prosecutors said Routh was aware of what he was doing when he gunned the pair down at a Texas gun range in 2013. Routh, who suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, was under extreme mental distress and was convinced the two men would turn on him on the day of the killing, his lawyers argued. The court also heard that Routh was under the influence of marijuana and alcohol at the time of the shooting. BBC News What do you think? Was Eddie Ray Routh guilty?
