Jesse Ventura and the estate of “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle have agreed to dismiss the former Minnesota governor’s defamation case.
...
A federal jury in St. Paul awarded Ventura $1.8 million in 2014, but that verdict was overturned on appeal. While Ventura initially said he’d seek a new trial, there were signs in November that a settlement was forthcoming. Court documents filed Friday show the parties agreed to dismiss the case with prejudice, meaning Ventura cannot sue again on the same claim.

Supposedly this farce is over.
More proof that the only thing more powerful than a punch is an ego, or maybe money.

They probably spent 4x that on lawyers fees.
Hopefully some peace for Mrs. Kyle.

Ping to old threads on the Ventura/Kyle feud.
Our long national nightmare is finally over.

Trying to bankrupt a widow? I had no idea Ventura was such a douchebag.

Fortunately for Mrs. Kyle all costs associated with this on her behalf were paid by the Insurance Company that covered her husbands book.

With all due respect, you just figured that out?

As usual, the only people who come out ahead in these cases are the lawyers.

I am no MD, and all this stuff about Football players taking hits, has anyone checked out Jesse V’s noggin? IMHO he ain’t right in the head. Did he play ball, take hits as a wrestler?

No, but I've not kept up on recent developments. I didn't know that the verdict was overturned and Ventura was still considering an appeal. The lawfare must have cost Kyle's widow a boat-load of cash.
What a major douche.
To: texas booster
Hopefully, this is the last we’ll hear of Mr. V.

Between UDT, football, wrassling and the MN State Legislature, Ventura must have absorbed enough head blows to give him a concussion or two.
Not that anyone could tell much difference between before and after ...

My perception of Ventura was sealed, no pun intended, with his term as Governor.
