Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura has won a $1.8 million libel suit he filed against famous Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle for a claim in Kyle's best-selling book. The jury found that Kyle fabricated a story about punching Ventura in a bar after he allegedly said the Navy SEALs "deserve to lose a few." Kyle was slain at a Texas gun range last year, so the suit was filed against his estate. People who were with Ventura that night testified that the alleged confrontation never happened. "The statement is completely out of character for Jesse Ventura. He never said anything like that in his life, and he never will," said Ventura attorney David Bradley Olsen.
