RIVERHEAD, N.Y. — A jury found today that tennis star Martina Navratilova did not injure a 44-year-old photographer when she took his camera and exposed his film at the U.S. Open Tennis Championships in 1982.
The six-member jury, however, did award Arthur Seitz $50 for the roll of film that Navratilova exposed during a skirmish following her quarterfinal loss to Pam Shriver on Sept. 7, 1982. Seitz had claimed in a $2-million suit that Navratilova injured his elbow and shoulder during a battle for his camera.
