One could wreck the 9-11 Truther Jesse Ventura's reputation? ..seriously.
I feel it was always a Chris vs Jesse deal and Ventura should have dropped his case against his widow and moved on since Jesse's name is not mentioned in the book.
(I do agree, Chris shouldn't have called out Ventura on the radio.)
No worries, Ventura now has 1.8 million to repair his reputation.
Regardless of what you or I think of Ventura, the jury and judge(s) believe his livelihood was damaged because of what Kyle said.
Personally, I don't give a rip about Ventura. I stand up for him only because, like all Americans, he has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. His rights were infringed by what Kyle wrote and said and Ventura has the right to seek redress.

Not just the radio. He also repeated it during his appearance on Bill O'Reilly.
Kyle had the chance to make right what he made wrong and instead chose not to.
