Day one of the trial of accused killer Eddie Routh is over. It was an emotional day, as Chris Kyle's widow Taya and Chad Littlefield's mother took the stand.

The defense seems to have some strong evidence for making the case that Routh was indeed insane at the time of the murders. Kyle and Littlefield were both concerned with Routh, as shown in this text sent by Kyle:

Chris Kyle:  This dude is strait up nuts
Chad Littlefield: He's sitting right behind me. Watch my six.

 

On Fox & Friends this morning, legal expert Peter Johnson Jr. expressed his concerns with the text. However, this does not completely let Routh off the hook. The defense also shifted responsibility at the VA, who released Routh even though his own mother thought he was a danger to others.

Everyone on the show does seem to agree there are no winners in this case and that it's a very sad situation all around.
