Eighth Circuit will not review Janos’ case against Kyle

by Jonn Lilyea••53

Jesse Ventura's big fucking mouth

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals refused to review their decision to toss out Jimmy Janos’ monetary award from the Chris Kyle estate in the “Scruff Face” case;

The ruling rejected a request that the entire 10-judge Appeals Court rehear the case. It also rejected a request by Ventura’s attorney to have the three-judge appeals panel that initially ruled against Ventura rehear the decision.

The three-judge panel ruled in June that the jury improperly awarded Ventura $1.3 million for “unjust enrichment,” concluding it was a misapplication of Minnesota law.

The jury also awarded Ventura $500,000 for defamation, but the Eighth Circuit voided that award because it said his attorney, David B. Olsen, made improper statements at trial and in his closing argument.

Nice.

  4. He’s like one of those foggy bottom pools of decaying plant material and slitherers. And he sticks to something like gumbo, hard to get rid of unless you turn the hose on it.

  9. Now that made my whole week.

    So now scuff-face has to pay back the 1.8 mill to Taya Kyle.

    1. He never got it in the first place. It’s why he was so bitchy about this entire thing.

      1. All he has received so far is a stack of attorney’s fees bills that he has likely paid out of pocket, at an hourly rate probably in excess of $300.00 per hour, plus court and litigation costs in the tens of thousands of dollars.
        As someone who generated those bills for over 21 years, you would be amazed a how much protracted litigation costs. I have worked on cases where the fee bills dwarfed the amounts awarded by the jury.

      2. Yes, and have you seen recent photos of this old gasbag? He looks like he’s going downhill rather quickly.

        Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I read that correctly, he does get $500,000, but not the $1.3 million.

        1. Think in the above it says immediately after that the $500K was also voided due to statements from his attorney (I think what they mean by their phrasing is ‘his attorney lied’)

  10. Maybe he agreed to pay his attorneys by the hour. If so, that’s a deep hole Janos is in.

    1. It is highly unlikely any attorney would take a defamation case in this country on a strictly contingent fee basis. In 36 years, I never heard of a contingent fee straight defamation case. Most plaintiff’s attorneys refuse to take defamation cases unless they are extremely strong cases of liability with substantial provable damages. Most attorneys don’t want to bet their time and money on the value of somebody else’s reputation. I would never bet mine on Jimmy’s.

  17. That lone brain cell has be boiling under that tinfoil hat. Perhaps he can go off the grid for good or a cliff.

    1. good God no, he needs to be hired by the Hillary campaign, that way the bat shit crazy stays together.

    2. Belittle dead war heroes and say that them and their grieving loved ones are liars/lying about you?

      That sounds like it’s right up Hillary’s alley.

  22. He is still playing the sh!theel, and is even less entertaining these days.

    Dude got beat by a girl!

  23. He can’t hang out with the SEALS and now this. Now he’s going to have to double down on the conspiracy theories to rake in the cash. Maybe he’ll start his own line of supplements. His first one he should call “Ventura Force”.

        2. Nah, that’s the name of his pet Phildo, which is also known as the Anal Intruder (with patented Gorilla fist action).

  24. Good, now he can just fade away to oblivion. Him and Bernath can share a room in the old folks loony bin.
    Bernath can talk about how he took down the Stolen Valor Mafia and Scruff-face can lie about how he was a Combat SEAL.
    They casn share Thorazine drips and catheters. Shitbags

  28. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA… Now Jimmy Janos can join The Dutch Rudder Gang as soon as he memorizes their Club Cocktail Recipe. Rubbing alcohol with enough formaldehyde and antifreeze for flavor, and garnished with a lead paint chip.

  29. Titan raises three claimed errors on appeal. ? First, Titan argues that Ventura was not entitled to quantum meruit recovery of royalties for the videotape?
