Executor of the Estate is substituted.
The executor or administrator of an estate is substituted when a party dies during a lawsuit. I believe this case was filed long before Kyle's untimely death. It's simply procedure to substitute in both Federal and State Courts. We should also keep in mind that due to Ventura's status as a public figure, the burden of proof on him was considerably heightened. I deal with juries quite often and firmly believe in our system of justice. In my experience, most jurors take their oath seriously and follow the law as instructed by the Court. There are occasions when I'd like to argue they should be allowed a nullification instruction, but I'll leave that soapbox argument for another day.
