A Minnesota jury ruled in majority favor of Jesse Ventura on Tuesday, awarding him a sum of 1.8 million dollars. Ventura’s legal argument was that Chris Kyle had defamed him publicly in his book “American Sniper”. Ventura’s Lawyer Olsen said Kyle’s claims that Ventura said he hated America, thought the U.S. military was killing innocent civilians in Iraq and that the SEALs “deserve to lose a few” had made him a pariah in the community that mattered most to him — the brotherhood of current and former SEALs.

According to 8 out of the 10 jurors they thought that Kyle had in fact defamed Ventura, costing him a lot of money in his career. This case is especially sad because of Kyle’s death at a gun range in last year, has left his widow to pay out the judgment. Both men are former Navy Seals with distinguished records. It is unfortunate that things worked out this way.
