United States Tenth Circuit

In a 42 U.S.C. section 1983 action alleging an unlawful detention and interrogation during an investigation, judgment for defendants is affirmed where any error in submitting the question of objective reasonableness to the jury was harmless because the jury's other answers on the verdict form indicated a total defense verdict.
