Jesse Ventura loses appeal to reinstate $1.8M verdict in defamation case
The U.S. Supreme Court has turned away former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura’s bid to reinstate a $1.8 million verdict in his defamation case against the estate of slain Navy SEAL and “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle.
The justices didn’t comment Monday in leaving intact a decision by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to upend the 2014 verdict.
Kyle’s autobiography was the basis for the 2014 film “American Sniper.”
Ventura, a former SEAL, took issue with Kyle’s claim that he punched Ventura at a California bar in 2006 over offensive comments about the SEALs.
