Ventura had successfully sued the estate over statements made in Kyle's best selling book from 2012. In the book, Kyle stated that he beat up a man in a California bar fight that he later found out was Ventura. He also said that Ventura made many anti-government and anti- Navy SEAL statements.
Ventura sued, saying the story defamed him and that Kyle used it to profit off of hiss name. The case went to trial this past July. The defense presented witnesses that said the fight happened, but the judge didn't find them credible. Ventura presented witnesses that said it never happened. The jury eventually ruled in favor of Ventura.
Kyle's estate attempted to have the ruling tossed out, citing that the law and the evidence did not support the jury's ruling. The court threw that claim out on 11/26.
