With the recent carnage brought upon his character, all I feel is sympathy for Jesse.
I see both sides of the argument, understand both sides and sympathize and empathize with both sides of the argument.

What is perplexing to me, is that I REALLY don't ever see "both" sides. I do, but really, I don't.
I feel superiority sometimes, and it troubles me. For numerous reason I won't go in to (could write a book)
however, in this particular situation, I really see both sides.

My final summation is that Ventura is the victim. If he didn't act, he could lose everything (In trail, various bits of truth come out- like in this trial, THE 'BEAT DOWN IN THE SEAL BAR NEVER HAPPENED'.) if it hadn't gone to trial, that tid bit would have never become PUBLIC RECORD. You'll notice I didn't say common knowledge, but rather public record.

In other words, I can see why Jesse Ventura chose the path he chose, and respect him for it.
Even though the "celebrated killer" has passed, that trial proved him to be a LIAR.

And do you see that the publisher's insurance company, not the 'poor widow', paid? Because I know the media never brought that up...

Yeah the mainstream media is great at leaving out important points.

I'd believe Ventura was in the right here if he sued for one dollar. Suing for millions puts a huge ulterior motive out there.

I see it more like seeking damages, his career was hurt and Kyle's career and book sales were boosted by the lie.

This must put Clint Eastwood in a peculiar situation. I always thought Clint was a stand up guy.

The grim reality is that no lawyer would have put that effort forth for a 1$ payoff.
That is the reality of the system. Not that Ventura couldn't have paid for it himself, but wouldn't THAT have been the "new news"???
I seriously don't envy the mind spaghetti "normal" people have to go through in order to "survive" the public scrutiny shaped by big media.
