According to the New York Times<\/a>, a three-judge panel of the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals may call for a new trial in the case of Jimmy Janos v. the Chris Kyle estate because some remarks by the plaintiff’s attorney in the first trial were so prejudicial that he may have influenced the outcome of the trial;<\/p>\n

During closing arguments, Ventura’s attorney, David Bradley Olsen, told jurors the “insurer is on the hook if you find that Jesse Ventura was defamed.” That followed questions he put to two HarperCollins employees about whether Kyle was covered by the publisher’s policy.<\/p>\n

Courts are reluctant to permit such testimony out of concerns that it could taint a jury’s decision. Appeals Judge William Jay Riley challenged Olsen on Tuesday to cite precedents that would have allowed those statements. Olsen could not point to other cases with the exact same circumstances, but Riley gave him time for more research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, Little Jimmy Janos blames the “Scruff Face” story for a loss of income, not the fact that he’s a big has-been and his conspiracy theory cable television show didn’t contribute to the fact that he can no longer make a living. He says that the story made him an outcast in the SEAL community. Suing one of the widows of that community had nothing to do with it, I suppose.<\/p>\n

“I’ve suffered a great deal from this lie,” Ventura said.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Ventura said he stands by his statement that if he loses he’ll probably move to Mexico, where he now spends his winters.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think I’d want to live in a country where you can profit from wrongdoing and the courts allow that,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s fine, because we don’t want you here, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
