## Opinion text

Judge HILL
concurring in the result.
I concur in the result. In my opinion there was insufficient evidence to support the award of punitive damages. While I believe it was error for the trial judge to instruct the jury not to consider the return of true bills of indictment as evidence of probable cause, nevertheless, I believe such instruction was harmless under the facts of this case.
