Description

Defendant, Frank L. Gaunt, appeals*fn1 from a judgment entered on a jury verdict awarding $450,000 in compensatory and $1.5 million in punitive damages to a former patient, Mary L. Nelson, in her action for assault and battery, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Gaunt argues that: 1) each of Nelson's causes of action was barred by the one-year statute of limitations for malpractice; 2) his decision to represent himself was not voluntarily made; 3) the court erred in the admission of certain evidence; 4) errors in the instructions; 5) the compensatory damage award was excessive and the punitive damages award was not supported by the evidence; and 6) Nelson's counsel was guilty of prejudicial misconduct. For the reasons set forth below, we have concluded that the judgment should be affirmed.
