Or is the idea that he was crazy in an impulsive way but not crazy in the sense that he had delusions about what he was doing?
Sorry for the double post.

I haven't followed the trial at all. For those of you who think the verdict was right (not just legally correct) what's your general theory of motive?
Where did you read combat flashbacks were involved? I haven't seen that yet. All I've read is the part about he felt threatened (the kill them before they killed him comment), and later he took two souls and sold his soul for a truck.
I think I'd be too afraid to listen to the confession but I would be interested in reading the whole thing.
Thanks for these responses. I had a certain picture of the crime in my mind based of very sketchy details but it seems that those of you that have followed it more closely have a different understanding. Maybe there will be a big writeup on Wikipedia if there isn't already.
Just saw that Eddie Routh's parents are going to be on Dr. Phil Monday
Well, I watched Dr. Phil & what can I say?????????? His mom is still in denial..........the jury got it wrong...........it's the Va's fault & on & on ad nausium. Apparently there is drug issues within the family. Jody Routh smoked pot with him the day before the killing, his uncle smoked pot & drank whiskey with him the day of the killing, & today on Dr. Phil it was revealed that Routh Sr. had a brother who died from an overdose of morphine. You would think that at some point this family would figure out that illegal drugs are not good.
