After deliberating for less than an hour, a Los Angeles jury found actor Keanu Reeves, 44, not liable for the wrist injuries a paparazzo said he suffered after being struck by the actor’s car, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The paparazzo, Alison Silva, had asked the jury to award damages of $711,974, which included medical bills, lost wages and punitive damages.

The accident occurred when Silva was taking pictures of Reeves after the actor had visited his sister, who has an eating disorder.

“He was looking forward to making a lot of money that night from an image he thought he could sell,” Reeves’ lawyer told the jury during the trail, according to Reuters. “He threw caution to the wind, he threw out common sense.”
