J. Warren St. John, one of Routh&#8217;s attorneys, said the notice of appeal was filed Tuesday. St. John also filed a motion for a new trial, arguing the conviction and sentence were contrary to law and evidence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, I guess that they&#8217;re going to continue to smear war veterans by claiming that Routh suffers from PTS that he caught in the arms room &#8211; he probably caught it from an improperly cleaned rifle that still had PTSD residue on it from a real firefight. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, his lawyers admitted to the court that Routh killed Littlefield and Kyle, so that&#8217;s not the evidence that the lawyer is talking about. The only thing left is mitigating the murder with Routh&#8217;s diminished mental capacity. But, let&#8217;s just ignore the fact that he was blazing a doobie with his loving family right before he went to the range with the ill-fated pair. Not that smoking pot made him kill, but it&#8217;s indicative of his long-term, unchecked  drug abuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David sends us a link to MSN which reports that Eddie Routh&#8217;s lawyers have filed an &hellip; <a title=\"Routh appeals murder conviction\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=58574\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Routh appeals murder conviction<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":58198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-58574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=58574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/58198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=58574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=58574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=58574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
