Jury returns mixed verdict in Tyreek Hill civil battery case, awards $500,000 to ex-wife

The civil lawsuit brought by Tyreek Hill’s ex-wife alleging multiple counts of battery and related legal claims has resulted in a verdict. Via Diana Moskovitz of Defector Media , the jury found Hill responsible for two counts of battery . He was found not responsible on the remaining counts. The jury’s decision not to award punitive damages is curious. Battery is an intentional tort. In Florida, however, the law requires “ clear and convincing evidence ” of intentional misconduct.
