American Sniper has shattered box office records and expectations - raking in more than $110 million in four weeks - but that success is going to affect the murder trial of Chris Kyle's accused killer, according to attorneys in the case. Former Marine Eddie Ray Routh will face court on February 11, two years after he allegedly shot Kyle dead at a Texas firing range  as he battled Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Routh is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. While the shooting of Kyle does not feature in American Sniper, with the war drama coming to a close with footage of his funeral, Routh's attorneys the scope of the film - from the amount of people seeing it in cinemas, to the press it is receiving and Oscar nominations - will affect the outcome of the jury.
