| U.S. appeals court voids Ventura award in 'Sniper' case | |  (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Monday overturned a $1.85 million award that former wrestler and Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura won in a defamation case against the estate of the author of the memoir "American Sniper." The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the estate of Chris Kyle did not receive a fair trial, citing comments by Ventura's lawyer during closing arguments and the improper cross-examination of two witnesses about Kyle's insurance coverage. By a 2-1 vote, the appeals court ordered a new trial on the defamation claim, for which Ventura had won $500,000. It also unanimously overturned a $1.35 million award for unjust enrichment, representing some of the profits from Kyle's memoir, saying it had no support under Minnesota law.

Monday's judgment by the court brings the curtain down on a week of bickering between the film's producers and the head of India's censor panel over suggested cuts to "Udta Punjab", which the film's makers said removed its essence. Striking down all but one of the 13 cuts suggested by the censor board, the court ordered that "Udta Punjab" be issued an A - or adult - certificate for screening immediately.
