Description

1 Defendants (Cassidy and Kirkpatrick) appeal a jury verdict in favor of Plaintiff on his claim for violation of his liberty interests. They contend that the trial court erred in denying their claim of qualified immunity. Further, they contend that the evidence was insufficient to support the jury verdict, that the trial court erred in admitting certain evidence regarding incidents that were outside the complaint, and that the trial court erred in submitting a special verdict form that did not include a statement regarding proximate cause. Plaintiff cross-appeals. Plaintiff contends that the trial court erred in refusing to allow him to amend his complaint to include a different claim and in refusing a jury instruction that would have assisted the jury in determining when an investigative stop escalates into an arrest. Having considered the parties arguments, we affirm the trial courts rulings and the jury verdict.
