A Texas jury has found a former Marine guilty of murdering real life “American Sniper” Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield in 2013. The victim, Eddie Ray Routh, is sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, various websites write. Routh reportedly showed “no reaction” as the court's decision was announced.

Taya Kyle, the widow of Chris Kyle, became emotional during the nine day trial and also talked about their last moment together. Taya, who has two kids with Chris, said in the court on Feb. 11 that they both “hugged and kissed” each other before his death and said they loved each other. Check out her emotional video from ABC news below.

According to ABC news, the judge instructed the jury of 10 women and two men to consider three possibilities in the case: guilty, not guilty, or not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury decided the victim was “guilty” of the crime in less than two hours. The 27-year-old former Marine confessed to killing Kyle and Littlefield but pleaded “no guilty” in the case “by reason of insanity.”

Routh's attorneys argued in court that the former Marine suffered “mental disorders” and war psychosis when he shot Kyle and Littlefield with his gun on Feb. 2, 2013. Various mental health experts appeared in court to throw light on Routh's state of mind at the time of the killings. According to the law in Texas, a mentally ill person is equally guilty of a murder if he is aware that “what he did was wrong,” says the website.

"We have waited two years for God to get justice on behalf of our son. And as always, God has proven to be faithful, and we're so thrilled that we have the verdict that we have tonight," Littlefield's mother, Judy, is quoted as saying by Fox News. Death penalty was not considered as an option in Routh's case.

Kyle's life was turned into a film “American Sniper,” which released in January this year. Bradley Cooper played the role of Chris in the film, which was based on his autobiographical novel “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History.” Chris died even before director Clint Eastwood started the film's shooting. The details of his death were not shown in the film but the viewers were informed about it in the end.
