Jury finds Tyreek Hill liable for two counts of battery, awards $500,000
A jury found Tyreek Hill responsible for two counts of battery in a civil lawsuit brought by his ex-wife, Keeta Vaccaro.
The jury found him not responsible on the other counts.
It awarded Vaccaro $500,000 in compensatory damages and no punitive damages.
The case arose from allegations Vaccaro first made in a divorce filing.
A civil verdict does not automatically lead to NFL discipline, but the league is reviewing the allegations under its Personal Conduct Policy.
The NFL must conduct its own investigation and reach a decision through the process agreed with the players’ union.
The verdict could also affect whether teams consider signing Hill.
