Keanu cleared
In another paparazzi legal wrangling, Keanu Reeves owes the photog who sued him nothing, said a Los Angeles jury Monday.
After less than three hours of deliberation, the jurors unanimously rejected Alison Silva’s civil lawsuit against Reeves and that the actor is not responsible for Silva’s injuries. Silva was asking for $711,974, which includes medical bills, lost wages and punitive damages.
Silva claimed that the “Matrix” hit him with his Porsche in March 2007, causing him to fall and injure his left wrist.
Jurors heard how Silva gave contradictory statements about what happened and even saw a video of the celeb shooter using his supposedly damaged hand to scale down a chain link fence after getting video of Britney Spears.
“I respect the jury’s decision,” Silva told reporters outside the Los Angeles County Superior Court after the verdict was read. “That’s what we were here for since the beginning.”
Silva said he would continue to work as a paparazzo despite the jury’s decision.
And he would snap shots of Reeves again, given the opportunity.
“Why not? It’s business,” he responded. “I wish Keanu is happy in his life. I have nothing against Keanu.”
Reeves, who attended the entire five-day trial (hear that, Britney?), waited for the verdict outside the courthouse’s cafeteria on the roof but declined to comment after the decision.
