The insanity defense didn’t work; – he got life w/out parole.
Jury took less than two hours.
I think Eddie won’t do well in prison.
But I predict that certain Hollywood types, – the ones who hated the success of the American Sniper movie – will attempt to turn Routh into a ‘victim of Bush’s War’, – maybe even make a movie depicting him as a lifetime victim of schizophrenia.
I’m guessing that in 15 – 20 years there will be a ‘Free Eddie’ movement just as there has been a ‘Free Mumia’ movement for Black Panther cop-killer Wesley Cook [aka Mumia Abu-Jamal]. Good luck with that – in Texas!
If you don’t know a
bout Wesley Cook – aka Mumia, – he executed a Philadelphia cop Daniel Faulkner, – shooting him in the back and then, as he lay on the street – shooting him in the face. That was 9 Dec 1981.
Note that Routh shot both former Navy SEALs Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield – in the back.

I don’t believe he will last 15-20 years for a ‘Free Eddie’ movement. He won’t last that long.

I fear who Obama will pardon for his final shot at America.
