Anyone catch the end remark?
He's going after the book publisher next.
He's a classless prick, always has been and always will be, nuff said
He repeatedly states that Taya Kyle's fees were being paid by insurance. However, there's this:

Quote:
Ventura lawyer David Bradley Olsen told reporters his reading of HarperCollins’ insurance policy is that its carrier will cover all damages and costs of defending against the lawsuit.“This money does not come out of a widow’s pocket; it comes from an insurance company,” Olsen said.
Ventura reiterated that on “CBS This Morning.”
“Taya Kyle had all of her attorney fees paid by insurance. I did not. I incurred two and a half years of lawyer fees that I have to pay to clear my name, and she had insurance paying everything for her,” he said.
But attorney John Borger, who represented Kyle in her capacity as executor of Chris Kyle’s estate, said Tuesday that insurance won’t cover everything. He said it will cover the $500,000 awarded for defamation, but not the $1.3 million for unjust enrichment.
“All of that comes directly from money that Taya and Chris received from royalties or whatever assets the estate may have,” he said.
Borger also asserted that under the law, the $1.3 million part of the jury’s award is only advisory and the final determination will be up to U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle, no relation to the author. He also said they will be considering all their legal options “in the days and week to come,” including a possible appeal.
Let me preface this with saying, I'm not a Ventura fan in any stretch of the imagination...But I'm even less of a Kyle fan and I'll tell you why.
You all seem to be pissed at Ventura for suing Kyle for an obvious fabrication of the truth..... And maybe rightly so.
#1 I've never believed his Ventura story after watching his body language on the interview and this lawsuit just confirmed my suspicions. The "knocking out Ventura" story is not the first dubious tale that he's said.... Remember the story about killing two carjackers at a gas station??? Nobody can verify that including the local police department. No police reports, records, news stories, nothing...
And most of all, Kyle gloats about killing other human beings. Justified or unjustified, you don't gloat about taking the life of another human.
I know people that have killed people, civilians and military and they don't talk about it, as they should.

This is actually a really good article on the whole thing.
There's a lot of misinformation going around. The biggest being that Ventura sued the widow.
Legally, I'm on Ventura's side. But, I think after Kyle died, he should have backed off a little bit.
Either way, it's pretty much over now.

Ventura was a SEAL.
He didn't sue the wife specifically. He sued the estate, of which, Ms. Kyle was executor.

And he didn't really sue the estate. He sued Kyle personally before he died. After he died the lawsuit shifted to the estate. Which is 100% normal.
