U.S. appeals court voids Ventura award in 'Sniper' case

Reuters

June 13, 2016

(Reuters) - A divided federal appeals court on Monday overturned a $1.85 million award that former Minnesota Governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura won after claiming he was defamed by the late author of the best-selling memoir "American Sniper."

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voided a St. Paul, Minnesota jury's July 2014 award of $500,000 for defamation and about $1.35 million for unjust enrichment against the estate of former U.S. Navy Seal Chris Kyle. It ordered a new trial on the defamation claim.

Kyle had been the deadliest sniper in U.S. military history, responsible for 160 kills during his career. He was shot to death at age 38 at a Texas shooting range in February 2013. His memoir became a blockbuster movie.

Ventura's lawyer did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Lawyers for Kyle's widow Taya referred requests for comment to News Corp's HarperCollins, the memoir's publisher. A spokeswoman, Erin Crum, said HarperCollins was reviewing the decision.

In his 2012 memoir, Chris Kyle wrote that he had in October 2006 punched out a man identified as "Scruff Face" in a southern California bar, following the funeral of a fellow SEAL.

He said the incident occurred after Scruff Face criticized the Iraq war and former U.S. President George W. Bush, said the SEALs deserved "to lose a few," and took a swing at Kyle.

While promoting the memoir, Kyle identified Ventura as Scruff Face.

Ventura, a former SEAL, has said he was at the bar, but that the altercation was made up, and the memoir hurt his reputation.

By a 2-1 vote, the appeals court said the defamation award must be voided because of improper questioning of two witnesses, and improper remarks by Ventura's lawyer during closing arguments, suggesting that insurance might cover any judgment against Kyle's estate.

"It is difficult to see how Ventura's counsel's comments were anything other than a deliberate strategic choice to try to influence and enhance damages by referencing an impersonal deep-pocket insurer," Chief Judge William Riley wrote.

The appeals court unanimously voided the $1.35 million award for unjust enrichment, representing some profits from Kyle's memoir, saying Minnesota law did not support Ventura's claim. Jurors had recommended the award, which the trial judge adopted.

Ventura was Minnesota's governor from 1999 to 2003.

"American Sniper" became a 2014 movie starring Bradley Cooper and directed by Clint Eastwood, and grossed more than $500 million worldwide.

The case is Ventura v Kyle et al, 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 14-3876.

SEATTLE (F-U Wire) - When Death Squad leader Dave Reichert was asked for comment about trying to murder an undercover federal agent, he chuckled as he responded, “Sure, we knew he was undercover. Why do you think we were working so hard to get him killed? The insurgent leaders at Microsoft pay me to ensure they don’t get caught. Besides, Captain Ray is kind of over-rated, don’t you think? We’ve been watching his every move for over 8 years and he hasn’t killed a single one of us terrorists.”

This reporter questioned Dave Reichert about how long he could continue supporting Microsoft’s insurgency efforts. “Oh, quite indefinitely, I am certain. Look, Captain Ray has all that fancy education, Princeton, Oxford, Navy, and he can’t even put us in jail after 8 years. If my parents had been so rich, I could have gone to all those schools, too. ‘Top Gun,’ my ass. Give me all that training and I could have been great, too.”

Texas police hold suspect in fatal shooting of ex-SEAL Chris Kyle

February 03, 2013 By Molly Hennessy-Fiske

HOUSTON—Dallas-area police have arrested a suspect in connection with the fatal shooting Saturday of former Navy SEAL and “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle and a second man at a north Texas shooting range.

Late Saturday, Lancaster, Texas, police arrested Eddie Ray Routh, 35, a man they say matches the description of the suspect wanted in connection with the slaying of Kyle and another man at a resort shooting range in Glen Rose in Erath County, about 70 miles southwest of Fort Worth.

The Somervell County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call around 5:30 p.m. reporting the shooting at Rough Creek Lodge, near the county line, and they referred the call to Erath County, according to Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Lonny Haschel.

Erath County deputies responded and found Kyle, 38, and 35-year-old Chad Littlefield had been fatally shot, Haschel said.

The suspect was believed to have shot the victims at about 3:30 p.m. at the Rough Creek Lodge resort's shooting range before fleeing in a Ford pickup truck, Haschel said.

The motive for the shooting was unclear. Investigators told WFAA that Kyle, who lived about 25 miles south of Dallas in Midlothian, had taken his neighbor Littlefield and Routh out to help Routh deal with post-traumatic stress disorder.

In the wake of the shooting, Erath officials issued an alert for authorities to be on the lookout for Routh, who was believed to be driving a black Ford F-350 truck with large tires and rims.

Routh returned home to Lancaster at about 8 p.m., Haschel said, and after a brief chase that ended on a highway in Dallas, officers arrested him, according to Lancaster police spokesman Lt. Kelly Hooten.

Hooten told The Times he did not know if Routh was armed when he was detained, but that he did not resist. Routh was taken into custody, arraigned on two counts of capital murder and sent back to Erath County on Sunday, Hooten said.

A woman who answered the phone at Rough Creek Lodge where the shooting allegedly occurred declined comment and referred calls to the Erath County sheriff's office.

Erath County sheriff’s officials could not be reached for comment but plan to hold a briefing at 2 p.m. CST, Haschel said.

Public records show that Routh previously lived in Camp LeJeune, N.C., home to a major Marine base.

Kyle, a native of Odessa, Texas, wrote the bestselling book “American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History,” detailing his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009.

A 1992 graduate of Midlothian High School, he attended Tarleton State University before joining the Navy and serving for a decade, earning two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, and two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals.

Kyle said he wrote the book because, “I wanted to be able to let people know about the sacrifices that not only people in the service make, but what their families go through. I knew this would give me a voice so I could speak about the guys I know who were killed. I wanted to get their story out and I wanted to raise awareness for veterans.”

He left the Navy in 2009, returned to Texas and became president of Craft International, a Dallas-based company that provides training to military and law enforcement professionals. Officials there did not return email after the shooting.

Kyle also appeared as an "operative" on the NBC reality show "Stars Earn Stripes," in which "celebrities are challenged to execute complicated missions inspired by real military exercises."
