There is still a chance that this injustice can be overturned.

[SubMareener]

What makes you think it was an injustice?

"still a chance this injustice can be overturned."

Good for the Kyle family. Hope they do overturn it.

Ventura is as vile, cowardly and twisted as anyone I’ve ever come across. His conspiracy theories demonstrate his lack of proportion, logic and any real intelligence. He is shrewd and manipulative. Other than that I’m sure he is a great guy.

Let see... Chris Kyle wrote he punch and knock down Jesse Ventura... there was testimony from witnesses saying that it did occur...

Jesse Ventura said in did not occur and is was libeled by Chris Kyle saying it happen....

So do you contend me saying I hit you is libeling you to the tune of millions dollars?... i can see maybe if falsely accuse YOU of a crime....

But in this case Kyle is accusing himself of assault on Ventura... and Ventura is saying it libel to he was assaulted by Kyle??...

First time I've heard that a false confession of a crime was libel of the supposed victim to the tune of millions..

Let alone the fact witnesses testified it did in fact happen

Add in the fact we are talking about two guys bar fight trash talk rising to the level of million dollars libel case against a dead man's widow and kids.....

I think the lawsuit was crap. But Kyle told some sea stories. About killing two carjackers on highway 67 in Texas, and all he had to do was give the cops a magic number to call. And the voice at the pentagon says he was a hero, and they have to release him. That’s just silly.
And Lone Survivor Lutrell mentioned Kyle’s Superdome sniper in Katrina fantasy.
Hell, I like him more for shining on the yokels with a few sea stories. And it was uncool of Ventura to sue. But we shouldn’t be ignorant and act like Kyle’s story was a hard cold fact.

Like Pappy Boyington said, “show me a hero, and ill prove he’s a bum”. Id rather enjoy Kyle as a real dude and not some sort of tin plated ersatz angel. Real is good.

Instead this case is about a first-person account from Mr. [Chris] Kyle that
the jury found to be a complete fabrication.”

How did the Jury come to that conclusion?

[arthurus]

And Jesse V is, after all, a public figure and there are different rules for public figures. They have a far harder time proving slander or libel.

Jesse Ventura wears his underwear backwards, for easy access...

[Vendome]

Burn in hell, Jesse. ..

Fatuous pig...

If the Civil Trial was held in Minn and Taya lives in Texas, just how is Ventura going to get her to pay?
