Court won't rehear Ventura case against Chris Kyle's estate

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An appeals court has denied former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura's request for a rehearing of his defamation case against the estate of slain Navy SEAL and "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle.

Ventura's attorney, David Olsen, had argued that the court's ruling placed too much emphasis on comments Olsen made at trial that suggested insurance would cover a defamation award.
