MINNEAPOLIS – A federal appeals court on Monday threw out $1.8 million in damages awarded to former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, who said he was defamed by the late author Chris Kyle in the bestselling book "American Sniper."
The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also sent a portion of the case -- Ventura's defamation claim -- back to the district court for a new trial, saying Ventura's attorneys made improper remarks and the trial court "clearly abused its discretion in denying a new trial."

Doh!
There is justice after all.
Yay! Yay! Yay! Right On !
Never forget Chris Kyle and God bless Taya Kyle and the kids
and may Jim George Janos (the anus) , aka Jesse Ventura go and live in permanent exile in his little rathole beach hut down on the tip of the Baja . I hope we never hear from this sickening POS again . He is a total disgrace to the SEAL community . Kyle should have shot him , not just punched him .
He looks like an old hippie.
Does he have to return his ‘Bonehead of the decade’ medal now?
Justice prevails!!
He IS an old hippie.

I hate his guts too!.
He’s bizarre:
“Later, he came to support a unicameral (one-house) legislature, property tax reform, gay rights, and abortion rights. While funding public school education generously, he opposed the teachers’ union, and did not have a high regard for the public funding of higher education institutions. Additionally, Ventura supported the use of medicinal marijuana,[52] advocated a higher role for third parties in national politics, and favored the concept of instant-runoff voting. He also opposed the death penalty.”

zero honor
I know a man who used to be his CO in UDT/SEALs
He told me he was always a loose cannon , a self aggrandizing a-hole . It was always all about HIM .
Perfect description.

Yes. I’ve always thought of him as Governor Goofy. Now I have Mark Dayton to think of that way. :(
Well he’s a pretty strange guy but not sure about the justice part. The suposed punch simply never happened. It was a made up story. So I’m not sure how that equates to justice.
HA HA
That miscreant didn’t deserve one cent.
Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but Jesse Ventura was in UDT, I belive; he did NOT ever win his SEAL Budweiser.
