“I’ve got so many abandonment issues and trust issues here,” Routh said on the video. Routh hinted at the insanity defense he would soon fall back on when he said he wanted to get help for “this” without specifying what “this” was. Routh told investigators he did not mean to shoot from such a close range, but said he was able to get the drop on Littlefield and the sniper credited with 160 kills “because their training wasn’t as good.” The skinny, mop-haired Routh they saw in the video looked nothing like the husky, clean-shaven Routh in the courtroom.
Neither man was able to unholster his weapon.Ĭaptivated jurors took detailed notes as they watched the 90-minute video of a handcuffed Routh discussing the shooting with an investigator. Kyle, 38, was shot five times in the back and once in his face. Kyle and Littlefield were found within feet of each other on the shooting-range grounds on Feb. “I was reasonable and fair with them boys,” Routh told an investigator hours after he shot Kyle, the nation’s deadliest military sniper whose story was turned into the Oscar-nominated film. Prosecutors played killer Eddie Ray Routh’s confession publicly for the first time Monday as they tried to poke holes in his insanity defense for killing “American Sniper” Chris Kyle and his pal Chad Littlefield.
