The U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Monday overturned a jury’s decision to award $1.8 million to former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura in a 2014 defamation case.A three-judge panel threw out the $1.35 million awarded to Ventura for “unjust enrichment,” saying Minnesota law did not allow a payout in this type of case; and it reversed the $500,000 award for defamation, remanding the case to the district court for a new defamation trial.

Could not happen to a bigger asshole and well deserved it.
In previous interviews, Ventura vowed to move permanently to Mexico where he has a winter home, if he lost the case.
I can give $10 so he can go live with his famous donkey relative in that little town of Mexico.
The only good thing he did in my opinion is sign minnesota’s shall issue permit system into law when he was Governor. Though I think it was just a personal beef that caused him to.
When he was on the city council in his home town he got all pissed because the chief wouldn’t give him a carry permit.
I can’t help but wonder if the permit system would have come about if the local chief had given him a permit.
Wonderful news. A bright spot on an otherwise bleak day.
Good riddance, don’t let the border hit you in the ass on the way out there Ventura…
I had no problems w/ him taking Kyle to court, it was between them. It was when he continued the lawsuit against the family after Kyle’s murder that I lost any and all respect for him.
