Prof. Kirtley Discusses Jesse Ventura's Libel Suit in Star Tribune

Professor Jane Kirtley was quoted in a Star Tribune article about the upcoming federal libel trial in a suit brought by former Governor Jesse Ventura against the estate of the deceased author of the bestselling book, "American Sniper." Kirtley described the case as "bizarre," explaining that because he is a public figure, Ventura will have to prove actual malice: that the author "knew he was writing a lie, or acted recklessly in writing his account."
