Dumbfounded. How any jury could side with JV is baffling.
During a videotaped deposition before his death, Kyle admitted that parts of his story weren’t true. He also admitted that he tried to remove that story from the book after a friend warned him that if it wasn’t true Jesse could sue him, but he let his ghost writer and publisher talk him into keeping it.
Add to that all of the witnesses on his side admitted to drinking, some of them quite heavily, that night and that only one of them claimed to have seen the whole incident and it was an uphill battle for Kyle’s lawyer.
DO NOT FORGET they ALSO elected him as governor of their state!!!!!
