STEPHENVILLE, Texas — The pretty widow of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle could barely speak his name on the witness stand before breaking into soft sobs at the start of his killer’s murder trial Wednesday.
“Christopher Scott Kyle,” Taya Kyle said, her voice choking as she testified before a packed central Texas courtroom. She wore a form-fitting brown dress and her brunette hair was streaked with blonde. She’d removed her husband’s dog-tags from around her neck before taking the stand.
“He was a good shot,” she told jurors, when a prosecutor asked her to describe her husband, the ex-Navy SEAL whose autobiography inspired the 2012 movie.
“He was good at what he did.”Phone calls and texts will play an important part in the trial of accused murderer Eddie Ray Routh, 27.
During the last car ride of his life, the real-life sniper texted his friend and fellow veteran, Chad Littlefield, about Routh, the edgy ex-Marine in the back seat of their car — “This dude is straight up nuts.”
