A Texas widow wants Jesse Ventura's defamation and libel case involving her late husband moved from Minnesota to the Lone Star State.
Attorneys for Taya Kyle -- whose husband, Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, was shot and killed in February -- argue in a motion filed Monday that forcing the widowed mother of two to spend weeks in Minnesota to defend her husband's veracity in court is too much of a burden.
"Bringing my children with me to Minnesota for trial isn't a good option," Taya Kyle wrote in a declaration accompanying her request. "I don't know who would take care of them. I don't have a nanny. I don't have any friends or family in Minnesota.
"Even if I could find a babysitter, it would be hard on my kids to be cooped up in a hotel room with a strange person in a strange city for that length of time," she wrote.

So, Kyle will be required to produce witnesses?
He is dead. Put a dead man on the stand and cross examine him!
That makes sense.
his reputation is trash because he was a lousy governor and a jerk
He was at a SEAL bar after the memorial service for his fellow SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient Mike Monsoor, who jumped on a grenade to protect two teammates. He wasn't out at the local watering hole knocking them back on a weeknight. Better?
You don’t seem to know much about Ventura. Having lived in MN; listened to his radio program; seen his self-promotion and heard his distortions and truth stretching on many occasions, I can assure you that this is strictly about money and being a big man once a bigger man was gone. Plain and simple, Ventura is a self-serving blowhard without a thought for others ever passing through the chasm between his jug ears.
Actually it is........that's the whole basis of the libel lawsuit in case you haven't been keeping track. Kyle made the written claim in a book and it can't be substantiated by witnesses.......
Whatever Ventura is or was or claimed to be, is not the issue here. In a twisted way, you're now sounding like a Trayvon Martin supporter...........
“Such as lying about being a seal.”
I do not like the ex-governor at all. And he cannot justify suing Kyle’s estate. However, on this point I want to make it clear. He DID go to BUDS and did graduate. The only issue is that at the time they were referred to as UDT, not SEALs. They became SEALs shortly after he graduated.
Jessie’s probably chicken to come to Texas.
Are you really that stupid???????......Sheesh, what a waste of time.
Jesse should forgive. This is the type of thing that separates libertarians from Christian America.
I'm sorry, but how in the world to you equate claiming someone committed a felony with the supposed winner of a bar fight? I know where you were trying to go with this, but really, when you're trying to put things in perspective, it might be best to actually put them in perspective rather than choose an example that is grossly different.
To put it in perspective, you write a book claiming in high school GeronL was beaten up by a geek.
In other words, you'd really have to go far to actually demonstrate that there is any loss in the first place. The issue died with the accuser. Jesse Ventura is doing himself more harm than any possible clearing of his name could possibly gain by suing the widow of his accuser.
That's the claim in Kyle's book and after all the controversy that has occured over the past couple years, NOBODY but NOBODY has been found to have witnessed the fight.........
No, i didnt even know about him getting his butt kicked until he started whining about it.
It has no affect on the disdain I have for him. It was already in the gutter.
Oh and KMA, trayvon supporter indeed
then we really have no argument do we? Stop pontificating............
Kyle made a libelous statement against Ventura in his book that Ventura disputes and nobody has been found to have witnessed Kyle's claim. Without witnesses then that is indeed libel and Ventura has every right to clear his name no matter what it takes........
Since she most likely inherited the estate, along with her children, then he is suing her, as she will be the one to lose the money.
He was in the Navy during Vietnam, he did not serve in Vietnam. Just the luck of the draw. He left the Navy 8 years before the UDT became the Seals.
He was also a member of the Mongol biker gang.
He’s also many other things which do not endear honor and respect. 9/11 truther being one of them.
Huh?
And Kyle filed statements from witnesses who were there supporting Kyle's version of events. Have they recanted?
I think we can safely say the comments on this board have nothing to do with what the dead man said. I don’t know what he said but still think Ventura is a first rate a**hole based on what is known about him.
