Jury rejects Reeves injury claims


A Los Angeles court has rejected a case against Keanu Reeves in which a photographer claimed the actor injured him by hitting him with his car.

Alison Silva had asked the jury to award damages of $711,974 (£453,500), which included medical bills, lost wages and punitive damages.

"I respect the jury's decision," Mr Silva told reporters after the verdict was delivered.

The film star, who was also in the courthouse, declined to comment.
