Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David B. Washington, Pittsburgh, for appellants.

H. David Rothman, Pittsburgh, for appellee.

Before SPAETH, SHERTZ and MONTGOMERY, JJ.


SPAETH, Judge:

This is an appeal from an order denying a motion for judgment n.o.v. or new trial. The action is for malicious prosecution. The jury returned a verdict of $20,000 compensatory damages and $30,000 punitive damages. Appellant argues that the verdict was not supported by the evidence, and was excessive. Finding no merit in either of these arguments, we affirm.
