[QUOTE="BallisticBiker, post: 2584500, member: 7914"] Ahem... For those that shan't be bothered with performing the simplest of internet searches, I'll copy & paste a few bullet points for you: [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/30/us/jesse-ventura-chris-kyle-navy-seal-book-lawsuit.html][I]"Although verdicts in such cases are customarily unanimous, both sides agreed to a split verdict." "A higher legal standard is required for a public figure to prove defamation. To meet the higher standard and prove actual malice in such cases, lawyers need to show, for instance, that an author knew that what he was writing was false, legal experts said." "During two weeks of testimony in a federal courtroom in St. Paul, jurors heard a videotaped deposition from Mr. Kyle, who defended his writings as accurate." "the jurors heard from witnesses with varying memories of one evening in a California bar in 2006 the scene from the book that Mr. Ventura contended was false." "In his deposition, Mr. Kyle said Mr. Ventura had indeed made such comments, and that Mr. Kyle had ended the conversation by punching Mr. Ventura as he described in the book. Several witnesses for Mr. Kyle said that they had overheard the former governors negative comments or had seen him on the ground following an altercation, while witnesses for Mr. Ventura said they saw no such confrontation that night." "Mr. Ventura was not named in the book," "But Mr. Kyle said during media interviews after the books release that he was referring to Mr. Ventura." "Mr. Kyle died in a shooting in Texas last year after the book had been published and after Mr. Ventura filed suit. Mr. Ventura continued the lawsuit at that point, pursuing the executor of Mr. Kyles estate, his widow, Taya.

Whether it's true or not, the verdict has been read and an American hero is still dead and a douche is still a douche - but he's $1.8 million dollars richer now... [/QUOTE]
