According to the Star Tribune<\/a>, it seems that Jimmy Janos has reached an agreement to settle with Chris Kyle’s widow in their long-disputed “Scruff Face” case in which Janos sued the late Kyle for the story he told about punching Ventura in the face in a San Diego bar. Ventura maintained that the story was not true, but it had hurt his reputation and his business.<\/p>\n

A document filed by Ventura\u2019s Minneapolis attorney, David Olsen, in U.S. District Court on Friday said that Ventura and Taya Kyle, Chris Kyle\u2019s widow, have agreed that the lawsuit was being dismissed \u201cwith both parties to bear their own attorneys\u2019 fees and costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reached Friday after the filing, Ventura declined to comment on the development, saying he will hold a news conference on Monday afternoon. Olsen could not be reached.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ventura had won a $1.8 million lawsuit against Kyle’s widow which was snatched away by the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals last year. <\/p>\n

The Appeals Court remanded the defamation portion of the case to the district court for retrial, if Ventura wished to pursue it.<\/p>\n

Ventura has previously said that he would seek a retrial unless he was reimbursed for his legal costs and it was acknowledged that the statements in the book were untrue.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure that suing a widow while she was still grieving didn’t help Ventura’s image. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
