Bush made a lot of bad appointments….most of them in fact.
And none of what you say changes the fact that this did not impact Ventura one bit, and it’s despicable to sue this family under these circumstances. The very fact that Ventura sued demonstrates it was all about the money to him, because all of this attention to the book, not to mention how loathsome of a creature Jesse is, will hurt his reputation a thousand times more than whatever was said in the book.
Then again, he may not be smart enough to figure that out. Are you?
The way I understood the money is being paid from the account of the publisher of the book. That said. I hope Jesse Ventura rots in hell, for what he did to Chris Kyle’s widow
$500,000 is being paid by the insurance company. The rest comes straight out of the wife’s money.
Ventura and his attorneys offered at several points to drop the suit if Kyle and his publisher and later Kyle’s widow and the publisher would acknowledge the story was true. Actually, he demanded was that the acknowledge that the words Kyle attributed to him were not true.
They refused. It cost them.
Does Ventura receive any money from future sales of the book or just monies earned so far? I don’t want that fat traitorous conspiracy nut-job getting any more money if I have anything to say about it.
(I’m going to have to stop watching “Predator” now too, when it comes on re-run. That’s a bummer)
It will be a Pyrrhic Victory for Jesse in the long run.
BTTT
you are a jesse groupie…..obviously…..what a pathetic hobby to have.
bye
I’m beginning to think that there is a special place in Hell for those who sit on a jury and award huge damages to not so innocent “victims”. Enough is enough already! If Ventura had ANY decency, he’d have dropped the charges, especially since Kyle was not able to defend his own remarks. The JUDGE should’ve thrown this one out, but methinks that these judges are in it with the jurors to make havoc of the judicial system and destroy America. That may seem brazen, but what else can one attribute it to? A real man would’ve either dropped the case or asked for no monetary compensation. What exactly did Ventura lose as a result of Kyle’s claim? REALLY. And he’d take the food out of the mouths of Kyle’s children? This is a real man? I could call him a couple other things if I was a foul-mouthed ranter, but I’ll have to stick to “fool” right now.
Nah, I barely followed the story until it the trial. I thought Jesse was just upset about some guy claiming he’d punched him out in a bar. Then I read what Kyle claimed he said, and then I started reading the Minneapolis paper’s account of the trial.
Maybe the jury got it wrong. But I know from what happened at the trial their decision wasn’t unreasonable. Kyle got caught in a number of false statements about Jesse and about the book.
OOOOO, you speak French! ;)
Minnesota has always attracted screwballs. Look at the “Wobblies” who continue to have influence in the state. They are Trotskyite lefties who make run-of-the-mill Socialists look like button-down conservatives.
Another OJ jury. Don’t know how you can say the book slandered JV when it didn’t name him and JV says that he wasn’t punched. If I was the judge, I’d move heaven and earth to nullify this garbage verdict.
And a victory here restores your reputation, Jesse? Congratulations, you’re now as popular as Taylor Chapman.
What a twit this Taylor Chapman is. She and Ventura are made for each other
He may not get much more then the Ins. because of exemptions.
.....lol, and you ever try getting litigation dollars out of an insurance company. Jesse will be lucky to get his lawyer paid. Like I said, “it ain’t over yet” and I know quite a lot more about this process than the average John Smith.
