Eddie Ray Routh was indicted in the case. <\/p>\n
STEPHENVILLE, Texas <\/p>\n
A dispute over DNA testing could delay the trial of the man charged with killing famed Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle. <\/p>\n
The Stephenville Empire-Tribune reportsthat Eddie Ray Routh's scheduled May trial date for the shootings of Kyle and friend Chad Littlefield could be in jeopardy. <\/p>\n
While Routh's attorneys and prosecutors agreed on DNA testing of six items of evidence, they asked for a hearing Tuesday on evidence in which testing remains in dispute. <\/p>\n
A state expert testified that new state law that vastly expands DNA testing in death penalty cases could require the testing, which may take several weeks more and force a delay. <\/p>\n
Kyle is reputed to be the deadliest sniper in American history and the best-selling author of the memoir \"American Sniper.\" <\/p>\n
