Prof. Kirtley Quoted in Pioneer Press on Summary Judgment Hearing in Ventura Libel Case

Professor Jane Kirtley was quoted in a Pioneer Press article about Wednesday's summary judgment hearing in the defamation law suit brought by former Gov. Jesse Ventura against the estate of a deceased book author who described an event that Ventura claims never happened. Both sides rely heavily on written depositions, affidavits and photographs. Kirtley predicted that it could be difficult for U.S. District Court Richard Kyle to sort out the contested factual issues, possibly making him "reluctant to grant summary judgment at this point."
