[*]June 2013 — Routh flooded his cell, pulled TV and phone cords out of the wall and put his mattress in the shower. He also told a jail officer he was “trying to be good, but being an ass is more fun” and expressed a wish to get out and kill other people.
This Routh was a certifiable KOOK...........
I will be shock if anything but death by lethal injection is not the end result.
Prepare to be shocked. I was under impression the DA is not asking for death penalty. I'm guessing they didn't want to risk a jury nullification based on their sympathy for defendant being a PTSD vet.
I brought many people to our club range and can assure you that if a friend had been drinking, doping or acting in an irresponsible way, he wouldn't get within 5 miles of our range! Kyle KNEW this guy was off his rocker. Why did he bring him to the range?
I would have changed plans, diverted the trip to Dairy Queen or the Arches where we could talk about his service connected issues in a safe environment.
That mistake cost both men their lives. What a damned shame.
